My family and other animals

Durrell, Gerald 1925-1995 (author.). Olney, Peter J. S. (Peter James Stephen) 1931- (author of afterword, colophon, etc).

Summary: My Family and Other Animals is Gerald Durrell's hilarious account of five years in his childhood spent living with his family on the island of Corfu. With snakes, scorpions, toads, owls and geckos competing for space with one bookworm brother and another who's gun-mad, as well as an obsessive sister, young Gerald has an awful lot of natural history to observe. This richly detailed, informative and riotously funny memoir of eccentric family life is a twentieth-century classic.
