Need help finding books by zoologist Jerold Darrell (sp?)...?

Question

He was a British zoologist and writer. Read his books as a child in Russian translation, but can't find any here. I am not 100% sure about the spelling, could be Darell or Darrel, etc.
The books are great, funny and endearing, about animals, and his family. One was named something like "My family and other animals".
Thanks for the help.

Answer 1
