But life was not without its problems - his family often objected to his animal-collecting activities, especially when the beasts wound up in the villa or - even worse - the fridge.With hilarious yet endearing portraits of his family and their many unusual hangers-on, The Corfu Trilogy also captures the beginnings of the author's lifelong love of animals.

About this product

Product Information

The Corfu Trilogy consists of the popular classic My Family and Other Animals and its delightful sequels, Birds, Beasts and Relatives and The Garden of the Gods. All three books are set on the enchanted island of Corfu in the 1930s, and tell the story of the eccentric English family who moved there. For Gerald, the budding 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 - his family often objected to his animal-collecting activities, especially when the beasts wound up in the villa or - even worse - the fridge. With hilarious yet endearing portraits of his family and their many unusual hangers-on, The Corfu Trilogy also captures the beginnings of the author's lifelong love of animals. Recounted with immense humour and charm, this wonderful account of Corfu's natural history reveals a rare, magical childhood.

A thoroughly good read!
Durrells first three books in one volume....I thought I was getting three separate paperbacks, but that was my fault....I obviously didn't read the description properly ....However, no problem. Read these many years ago and delighted (inspired by current TV series) To read again. Funny, charming and informative, you will enjoy these books.

This book is great for relaxing and following a wonderful family's life, through a young boy's point of view after they've relocated to Corfu. Be prepared for in-depth information about all of the creatures Gerald encounters and tries to keep in or near their home. He becomes very knowledgeable about them and seems to relish in sharing all of the minute details about them with his readers. The rest of the family members are each unusual in their own way and add additional charm to the story, as well as the interesting people they meet from the city of Corfu.

Great read! Draws you right into the story.
Love the variety of characters that Gerry meets on his adventures on the Island. His description is very amusing of his family too. This book really gives a taste of Corfu before it was commercialised. Young Gerry brings the animals alive with his description of their antics, making it interesting and informative as well as a darn good read!

Delightful books
Absolutely delightful set of books; been meaning to read them for years. A slight disadvantage to have all three in one volume ( big and heavy) but I am sure I will thoroughly enjoy them. I have certainly enjoyed the first 60 pages!
