A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Gerald Durrell's bewitching account of a rare and magical childhood on the island of Corfu, the inspiration for The Durrells in Corfu coming soon to Masterpiece on PBS

When the unconventional Durrell family can no longer endure the damp, gray English climate, they do what any sensible family would do: sell their house and relocate to the sunny Greek isle of Corfu. My Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the island but ended up as a delightful account of Durrell’s family’s experiences, from the many eccentric hangers-on to the ceaseless procession of puppies, toads, scorpions, geckoes, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, bats, and butterflies into their home.

Revue de presse :

"A lot of frolic, fun, and charming ribaldry, as well as the warm feeling of having been transported to a lovely spot where worry is unknown and anything is believable."
-The New York Times 

"A most enjoyable idyll." - The New Yorker
