Review: Adventures of a Young Naturalist: The Zoo Quest Expeditions

Adventures of a Young Naturalist: The Zoo Quest Expeditions by David Attenborough
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That was such a delight! Full of good humor; written in light, lacy, and very British prose - I could almost hear Sir David's familiar voice in every line. But older readers, be warned: this book may cause a few bouts of nostalgia, because it's brimming with romantic adventures (here, read "romantic adventures" as "poorly organized expeditions"). And though mine were never quite so dangerous, reading about them reminds me of recklessness I now miss.
