I probably have my sister to thank for pointing me in the direction of Gerald Durrell's books when we were kids. He had a rather more exotic collection of pets than ours, which ran to dogs, cats, rabbits and the occasional goldfish called Fred. Durrell was a naturalist and zoologist with a magnificent ability to capture the joy of nature and share his fascination with animals. As someone who grew up in Essex and had, at that time, travelled no further than the coast, bar one school day trip to France, I loved exploring the exotic world of Corfu, the Cameroons, British Guyana and elsewhere—even the more close to home tales of Zoos, whether in Jersey or Whipsnade. The books were totally engaging—and I'm glad to see that many of them are still in print—and made me an early supporter of conservation projects and the WWF. All my original copies of Durrell's disappeared years ago when I began reading science fiction in my teens but I began picking up copies again a couple of years ago and found most of my old favourites pretty quickly. What prompted me was the broadcast of My Family and Other Animals by the BBC in 2005, which I thoroughly enjoyed. That and reading Douglas Botting's biography of Durrell. If you have kids and you would like them to have an appreciation of the animals around them, you couldn't do better than finding them a copy of My Family and Other Animals or A Zoo in my Luggage.

From a rather young age I knew that I wanted to help others and give back to the world somehow. Although that seems like a rather large concept for a child, it’s true. I never had the idea of being a ballerina, princess, or musician like you often hear children say. If you ask my family they will tell you that as soon as I could talk I wanted to work with animals. As a 5 year old, words like zoology, endangered species and veterinarian were a regular part of my vocabulary. I credit being from San Diego for that....
