For anyone who, like me, admires the works of the amazingly talented Durrell family, particularly Gerald and his famous brother Lawrence, this book is not to be missed. Highly amusing, told from the viewpoint of Gerald at the age of ten, it relates the family's sojourn on Corfu. And of course besides the irrepressible Durrell clan with all their peculiarities, a great menagerie of birds, animals, reptiles etc. are bound to appear. Durrell has the biologist's view of life and the humorist's take on human foibles -- quite an irresistible combination!
