My Family and Other Animals

My Family and Other Animals

<b>The first book Gerald Durrell's <i>Corfu Trilogy</i>: a <b>bewitching account of a rare and magical childhood on the island of Corfu, now the inspiration for <i>The Durrells in Corfu </i>on Masterpiece PBS<br></b></b><br>When the unconventional Durrell family can no longer endure the damp, gray English climate, they do what any sensible family would do: sell their house and relocate to the sunny Greek isle of Corfu. <i>My Family and Other Animals</i> was intended to embrace the natural history of the island but ended up as a delightful account of Durrell’s family’s experiences, from the many eccentric hangers-on to the ceaseless procession of puppies, toads, scorpions, geckoes, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, bats, and butterflies into their home.
