A well-loved vintage Penguin paperback edition of Encounters With Animals by Gerald Durrell, the celebrated naturalist, conservationist and author best known for his wonderfully engaging accounts of wildlife and travel.

Illustrated throughout with charming black and white drawings by Ralph Thompson, this early Penguin edition captures Durrell's gift for combining keen observation with humour and storytelling. The illustrations add considerable appeal, making this an attractive copy for collectors of natural history books, vintage Penguins and wildlife literature.

The book shows honest signs of age and use, including wear to the covers, creasing, edge rubbing and remnants of an old label to the front. Internally, the pages remain clean and the illustrations are well preserved.

A characterful addition to a vintage library, nature collection or display of classic Penguin paperbacks.
