Gerald Durrell

The Mockery Bird

London: Collins, 1981.

​First printing


Owing something to Evelyn Waugh's Scoop and a bit to P. G. Wodehouse' style, this is an unusual attempt by Durrell to write a satirical novel.


Set on the outer fringes of Empire, a sleepy tropical island becomes the center of a controversy involving a very rare bird and a military airstrip.


All's well that ends well, as you might hope. 


Hardcover with jacket.
