My Family and Other Animals
Gerald Durrell's beloved classic memoir, now published as a beautiful Penguin Clothbound Classics edition<BR><BR>'When My Family and Other Animals was published it was as if someone had flung back the curtains, thrown up the windows and let in a stream of bright light' - Kathryn Hughes, Guardian<BR><BR>'Gerald Durrell was magic' - Sir David Attenborough<BR><BR>'Living in Corfu was rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas'<BR>It is 1935 and the Durrells have escaped the leaden summer skies of Bournemouth to arrive 'like a troupe of medieval tumblers' on the sun-drenched island of Corfu for a new life. Gerald Durrell's beloved portrayal of his chaotic family - beatific Mother, Roger the dog, diet-obsessed Margo, book-loving Lawrence and gun-wielding Leslie - as well as his own adventures with a burgeoning menagerie of beasts, birds and insects (including an owl called Ulysses), is a timeless account of an idyllic childhood and an uproarious portrait of the English abroad.
