Product Description

Product Description

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.


About the Author

GERALD DURRELL was born in 1925 in India. His family eventually settled on the island of Corfu, where he made a special study of zoology. Durrell dedicated his life to the preservation of wildlife. Encouraged to write by his novelist brother Lawrence, he published the first of many bestselling books THE OVERLOADED ARK in 1953. In 1982 he was awarded the OBE. He died in 1995.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious. Don't miss it., 7 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: My Family and Other Animals (Paperback)
Gerald Durrell has an amazing talent for making you laugh out loud - he knows just how to tell his stories about the various birds, insects and animals he comes across as a boy in Corfu.

The descriptions of Corfu really make you want to visit, and the stories about himself and his own family are absolutely hilarious. This book is the best one to read if you haven't read any of his writing before.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and funny but quite boring, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: My Family and Other Animals (Paperback)
I thought that this book gave a good example of a typical choatic family, it shows this with many arguments between the siblings and how the mother tries to keep peace between everyone. This novel is an autobiagraphical, non-fiction story of an english family living on the island on Corfu. They come across many problems , delights and cultral differences. The book has a great sense of umour nada fantastic description of scenery, which was good but sometims incredibly boring. This was a funny, factual and interesting piece of literature.
