Item description from seller

A set of first editions, first impressions of the three books comprising The Corfu Trilogy, published by Rupert Hart-Davis and Collins between 1956-78. Three volumes. Original green cloth, spine lettered in silver (My Family and Other Animals); original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt (Birds, Beasts and Relatives); original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt (The Garden of the Gods). With the original pictorial dust jackets, jacket design for the first by Ralph Thompson, priced 16s net; the second designed by Eileen Walton, priced 30s net; the third with a jacket painting also by Eileen Walton. "My Family and Other Animals" with the spine a little sunned; a hint of spotting to the fore-edge, encroaching ever-so-slightly onto the fore-edges of a few of the opening leaves; a knock to the top corner of the upper board with a bump to the lower board that has led to very slight associated misalignment to the top portion, otherwise very good and clean internally. "Birds, Beasts and Relatives" with a little spotting to the fore-edge and a thin strip of sunning to the spine head, caused by the slightly undersized jacket, else very good. "The Garden of the Gods" with a small area of sunning to the foot of the spine and upper board, and some spotting to the edges, primarily to the top, else very good or better. The My Family jacket unclipped, with some sunning to the spine panel and chipping to the spine ends and a small area of loss to the lower panel that have, in both cases, been filled and reinforced; some browning to the verso, but otherwise very good. "The Birds, Beasts and Relatives" jacket unclipped, showing minor traces of sunning to the spine panel and a minuscule chip to the spine foot, else near fine. "The Garden of the Gods" jacket has had its original retailer price sticker removed and shows minor rubbing to the spine ends, but is otherwise near fine. The three Corfu books, complete in first editions and jackets across twenty-two years and two publishers. Durrell had already published several accounts of his animal-collecting expeditions when My Family and Other Animals appeared from Hart-Davis in 1956 - its jacket advertises "Three Singles to Adventure", "The Bafut Beagles" and "The Drunken Forest" - but it was the Corfu book that made his name, and the two sequels followed at long intervals, the last announced on its own jacket as "Gerald Durrell's last book about Corfu". The royalties funded the collecting expeditions and, in time, the Jersey wildlife trust that remains his other memorial. The family has been dramatised three times for British television: a ten-part BBC series in 1987, a BBC film in 2005, and ITV's The Durrells across four series from 2016 to 2019.…
