About the book
The delightful story of Gerald Durrell's childhood on the Greek island of Corfu, where the family moves in search of a quieter life. Amid eccentric parents, adventurous siblings, and a menagerie of wild creatures, Durrell discovers his passion for nature and animals, turning the island into his own private laboratory for zoological observation.
With refined humor and affectionate observation, Durrell offers a narrative that combines hilarious family memories with genuine insights into wildlife. The book is both a touching remembrance of childhood and a celebration of the natural world that would shape all of his future work.
