The Durrell family returns to the island of Corfu. Already an ardent naturalist at the age of ten, the young Gerald lives in an unconventional and disordered household with his mother, sister, and two brothers. Convivial and open, the family plays host to a constant stream of quirky guests. But for Gerald, the main attraction is the wildlife of Corfu... Part coming-of-age autobiography and part nature guide, Gerald Durrell's dazzling sequel to MY FAMILY AND OTHER ANIMALS is based on his boyhood on Corfu, from 1933 to 1939.
