“The island lies off the Albanian and Greek coast-lines like a long, rust-eroded scimitar.”
British naturalist and author, founder of the Jersey Zoo (now called the Durrell Wildlife Park). Many of his books deal with collecting animals for zoos but he later became more concerned with conservation (<a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Durrell>Wikipedia</a>).
