Description
This novel tells the charming tale of a man who inherits an alcoholic elephant (the eponymous Rosy) from an eccentric uncle and embarks on a journey to the south coast in search of someone who will take the troublesome pachyderm of his hands. Although somewhat dated, this is an amusing and well written yarn and further exhibits Durrell’s much-loved ability to write about animals with same charm and humour that many of the best novelists struggle to find with their human heroes! An enjoyable read and a must for all Gerald Durrell fans.
