The Aye-Aye and I

`In the gloom it came along the branches towards me, its round, hypnotic eyes blazing, its spoon-like ears turning to and fro independently like radar dishes …it was Lewis Carroll`s Jabberwocky come to life …one of the most incredible creatures I had ever been privileged to meet`. The fourth largest island in the world, Madagascar is home to woodlice the size of golf balls, moths the size of Regency fans and the Aye-Aye, a type of lemur held by local superstion to be an omen of death. But when Gerald Durrell visited the island, the destruction of the forests meant that the Aye-Aye and many other creatures were in danger of extinction. Told with his unique sense of humour and inimitable charm, Gerald Durrell`s “The Aye Aye and I” is the final adventure from one Britain`s best loved conservationists.
