Gerald Durrell evokes his island paradise with the passion and wonder of a small boy in the concluding part of the warm and humorous trilogy that began with 'My Family And Other Animals' and 'Birds, Beasts And Relatives'. The enchanting island of Corfu was home to Gerald Durrell and his family for five years before the Second World War. For the passionate young zoologist, Corfu was a natural paradise teeming with strange birds and beasts that he could collect, watch and care for. But life was not without its problems. Gerald's family often objected to his activities, especially when the beasts wound up in the family's villa or even worse - the fridge. In addition to his tales of wild animals, Durrell recounts stories about his even wilder family - including his widowed mother, Louisa, and elder siblings Lawrence, Leslie, and Margo - with undeniable wit and humour.
