Beasts in my own Belfry is the wonderfully crazy memoir about Gerald Durrell’s period at Whipsnade Zoo and his encounters as a young zookeeper. Following a Second World Battle, Durrell joined Whipsnade Zoo as a junior keeper – an opportunity that fulfilled a lifelong desire. Thanks to Rupert Degas’s excellent voicing, which catches all of Durrell’s elegance and wit, the listener can enjoy being used behind the moments of one from the world’s very first zoos. This is a delightful family portrait of the pets who lived there and the ones who taken care of them.
