Description
Gerald Durrell's account of his childhood on the island of Corfu is a charming and humorous tale of growing up in a unique environment. The Durrell family, along with their dog Roger, leave behind the British climate for a new life in Greece, where they must adapt to sharing their villas with a variety of local wildlife. As they settle into their new home, the family discovers the joys and challenges of living among the island's fascinating fauna. With immense humour and charm, Durrell recounts his experiences, revealing the eccentricities of both humans and animals. This bewitching book is a wonderful account of a rare and magical childhood. Born in India in 1925, Gerald Durrell went on to lead numerous animal-collecting expeditions and become a renowned conservationist. His story is a testament to the power of curiosity and the importance of preserving the natural world.
