by Gerald Durrell ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 12, 1957
Durrell's department of natural history has found him a devoted audience which has come to expect his animals to be as entertaining as his humans and here is the ultimate reward. For this account of a five year stay on Corfu when he was ten includes a happy variety of incidents with family, friends and other fauna as one and all succumb to the insidious magic of an island. Hilarious scenes, loving nature observations, color and character and bright sharp pictures of Corfu- this should bring joy to his followers.
