The Gerald Durrell Corfu trilogy is brilliant. I went to the island several times with my whole family (parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, husband and young children and, later, even some of their friends) during the late 80’s, 90’s and in 2002 and, even with increased tourism changes (which hadn’t happened at the time these books are set) we adored the place, the people and the natural simplistic beauty. To read these wonderful books puts makes me remember fondly our times there and feel quite envious of the wonderful, even simpler, unspoilt beauty of the wonderful times Gerald and his family must have spent there. That, added to the wonderful writing style and amazing descriptions of people, places, events, animals and fauna just add to the magic of these books. Would recommend highly.Read full review
