Summary
The Durrell family returns to the island of Corfu, continuing the story begun in My Family and Other Animals. Already an ardent naturalist at the age of 10, the young Gerald lives in an unconventional and disordered household with his mother, sister, and two brothers. Convivial and open, the family plays host to a constant stream of quirky guests. But for Gerald, the main attraction is the wildlife of Corfu.

Loved it!
Gerald Durrell has an uncanny ability to understand animals including his family and friends and brings them to life in a most amusing manner in this book.

Took me back to childhood
I remember reading Gerald Durrell as a child.
His stories of his time in Corfu with his family and the locals are so descriptive amd fun. This is a timeless piece for young and old to enjoy.
Gentle and lovingly read by Nigel Davenport.

A pleasant surprise
A series of very interesting, funny and charming stories that animal enthusiasts and people who appreciate countryside life will love. Equally absorbing for both children and adults.

Enjoyable but . . .
. . . I preferred the TV series. Out of the hundreds of books I’ve read and listened to I don’t think I’ve said that before. Still a positive review from me though.
