Three singles to adventure follows Gerald Durell to South America, where he meets the sakiwinki and the sloth clad in bright green fur, where he can hear the horrifying sound of piranha fish on the rampage, or learn how to lasso a galloping anteater. His humorous narration is both entertaining and educational.

Living for four years prior to World War II on the Greek Island of Corfu was described in several books and a TV series.
