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.
The Corfu Trilogy:

With hilarious yet endearing portraits of his family and their many unusual hangerson, The Corfu Trilogy also captures the beginnings of the authors lifelong love of animals.
