My Family & Other Animals

by Gerald Malc Durrell

My Family & Other Animals Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Escaping the ills of the British climate, the Durrell family - acne-ridden Margo, gun-toting Leslie, bookworm Lawrence and budding naturalist Gerry, along with their long-suffering mother and Roger the dog - take off for the island of Corfu.

In a series of colourful villas, the yellow to accommodate friends, the white to avoid having to put up family, the Durrells give a sometimes reluctant home to a trail of local fauna, among them scorpions, geckos, toads, bats and butterflies. Recounted with immense humour and charm, this is a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood.

Synopsis:

The author relates his memories of a five-year sojourn with his family on the island of Corfu when he was a boy, describing in detail the procession of wild animals he brought back to the family's villa to study.
