SynopsisThe first book Gerald Durrell's Corfu Trilogy a bewitching account of a rare and magical childhood on the island of Corfu, now the inspiration for The Durrells in Corfu on Masterpiece PBS 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. My Family and Other Animals 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., The first book in Gerald Durrell's Corfu Trilogy: a bewitching account of a rare and magical childhood on the island of Corfu, which was the inspiration for the Masterpiece PBS series The Durrells in Corfu.

  • Not the item pictured

    I love this story--5/5. However, the book I recieved had cover art from the television series. I HATE the show, and the reason I ordered this copy is becasue the picture with the listing is of the version of the book I read the first time & matches the other books from the series that I own. The picture shows the version of the book I wanted to own. It's possible this is my own fault. Perhaps the description of the product indicated that the book I was ordering had a different cover than pictured and I missed it. Whatever the case, I wsa seriously disappointed when the book arrived.
