FIRST VOLUME SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON TITLE. A bright, fresh set in the original colourful wrappers of Attenborough's earliest books, recording his 'Zoo Quest' animal-foraging expeditions in many different territories. Well-illustrated and delightfully written, these early titles display much of the talent and infectious charm that has since made their author a naturalist, broadcaster and presenter of world renown. The series captures well the appeal of his first-ever television series 'Zoo Quest' that ran on the BBC from 1954-1964. It also gave rise, incidentally (in those far-off pre-computer days), to a highly popular board game! The sequence comprises 'Zoo Quest to Guiana' (1956), 'Zoo Quest for a Dragon' (1957), 'Zoo Quest to Paraguay' (1959), 'Quest in Paradise' (1960), 'Zoo Quest to Madagascar' (1961) and 'Quest under Capricorn' (1963). Two omnibus volumes of extracts were published for a new generation of readers in the 1980s. COMPLETE SETS IN THIS CONDITION ARE SELDOM OFFERED FOR SALE.

First editions of all six volumes. A complete set of Attenborough's first books, published over the course of seven years. Zoo Quest was a multi-part nature documentary which aired on the BBC between 1954 and 1963, and was the first major programme to feature David Attenborough, fully establishing him as a nature documentary presenter. In each, he paired with a member of staff from London Zoo, traveling to a foreign country to capture an animal for the collection (accepted practice for the time). Attenborough wrote an accompanying book for each expedition aside from the first, totalling 6 volumes, and 7 episodes. The series was highly successful, with Zoo Quest for a Dragon being the first footage to capture a Komodo Dragon. In order, the books cover the author's expeditions to Guiana, Indonesia, Paraguay, New Guinea and Islands of the South Seas (Tonga and Fiji), Madagascar and Australia. A lovely set.
