Three Tickets to Adventure by Gerald Durrell

FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING [1955] THE VIKING PRESS

Hardcover with dust jacket in excellent condition.   Price clipped dust jacket in great shape!  Vibrant and solid with some extremely mild tearing to edges and subtle tanning.  One very small scratch on back with a pin sized tear. 

Book itself is near mint.  Some mild discoloration to spine; but otherwise excellent.  Perfect cover and clean white unmarked pages.  Gorgeous! 

Gerald Durrell is on his way to South America on a quest to capture specimens that have never been brought back alive before. And it turns into quite an adventure when he encounters timid squirrel monkeys, wailing rats, an overly affectionate bird christened Cuthbert and a bad-tempered anaconda! Bringing back a living collection of animals can be frustrating, exciting and damned hard work, but it's never dull!
