Пра гэту электронную кнігу

From the author of the Corfu Trilogy, which inspired the Masterpiece TV series The Durrells in Corfu , a comic novel about a boy who inherits an elephant.

When his uncle passes away unexpectedly, young Adrian Rookwhistle's inheritance turns his humdrum life upside down. Instead of a manor house, Adrian has been bequeathed Rosy, an elephant whose predilection for fine spirits leads to high jinks far beyond the means of a shy English gentleman.

Convinced that a circus will take the troublesome tusker off his hands, Adrian leads Rosy on a trek to the coast, setting in motion an uproarious adventure of mammoth proportions.

Author Gerald Durrell promises that despite being embellished here and there, "nearly all the adventures in this book really happened." Ultimately, this tale of a pachyderm with a penchant for pandemonium guarantees pure entertainment.

"An 'almost true' tale that Mr. Durrell has lovingly embellished and you'll almost wish that you had a Rosy in your family too." — Kirkus Reviews

"Comic havoc." —The New York Times

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gerald Durrell including rare photos from the author's estate.
