Summary:
"The third book in The Corfu Trilogy (after My Family and Other Animals and Birds, Beasts and Relatives), the books that inspired ITV's television series 'The Durrells'. The enchanted 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 animal collecting activities, especially when the beasts wound up in the family's villa or even worse - the fridge." -- Provided by publisher.
