My Family and Other Animals
Written by Gerald Durrell, this book is the first in a trilogy and tells the story of a family who escapes the dreary English climate and moves to Corfu, a Greek island. The youngest of the four children, Gary, begins to adopt many animals of all varieties including puppies, snakes, and birds. Life with these animals is documented in this enjoyable tale. 273 pgs, sc.

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.
