Why read it?
1 author picked Golden Bats and Pink Pigeons as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ve been a Durrell fan since I was 13, and I’ve collected all his books. This one opened my eyes to a group of islands in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius and its nearby neighbour Round Island.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in travel, conservation and humour.
