When the miserable English climate proves too much for young Gerald Durrell and his haphazard family, all five of the Durrells decide to relocate to the Greek island of Corfu. For Gerald, an aspiring naturalist, this is a dream come true. The wildlife of Corfu turns out to be a treasure trove of curious toads, bats, butterflies, beetles, owls —and Widdle and Puke, the family puppies. A true account of the bizarre and hilarious childhood of one of the world’s most beloved wildlife writers; My Family and Other Animals will make you laugh and feel nostalgic for those golden summertime vibes.
