The main character in this book is the Aye-Aye, the beast with the magic finger. Once thought to be extinct, the beast still roams the forests of Madagascar. In this book you will also become acquainted with a tortoise, chameleons, and lemurs. Durrell tells an amusing story that will both and inform and delight you.
