Birds, Beasts and Relatives
About the Book
The author of The Corfu Trilogy—the inspiration for the Masterpiece production The Durrells in Corfu—recounts his family''s time on a Greek island.
In the years before World War II, Gerald Durrell''s family left the gloomy shores of England for the sun-drenched island of Corfu. Against this picturesque backdrop, Durrell fondly recalls his family''s disorderly household and outrageous antics, including their interactions with locals of both human and animal varieties.
After a boyhood spent studying zoology and acquiring the island''s exotic insects, reptiles, birds, mammals, and sea creatures as pets, Durrell''s budding naturalism would later bloom into a passion for conservation that would last a lifetime.
Filled with clever observations, amusing anecdotes, and childlike wonder, Birds, Beasts and Relatives is half nature guide, half coming-of-age tale, and all charmingly funny memoir.
Additional Content
