What we all need said Larry is sunshine . . . a country where we can grow. Yes dear that would be nice agreed Mother not really listening. I had a letter from George this morning - he says Corfu s wonderful. Why don t we pack up and go to Greece Very well dear if you like said Mother unguardedly. Escaping the ills of the British climate the Durrell family - acne-ridden Margo gun-toting Leslie bookworm Lawrence and budding naturalist Gerry along with their long-suffering mother and Roger the dog - take off for the island of Corfu. But the Durrells find that reluctantly they must share their various villas with a menagerie of local fauna - among them scorpions geckos toads bats and butterflies. Recounted with immense humour and charm My Family and Other Animals is a wonderful account of a rare magical childhood. Durrell has an uncanny knack of discovering human as well as animal eccentricities Sunday Telegraph.
