<p><b>Gerald Durrell's beloved account of his childhood in Corfu, now in Penguin Modern Classics for the first time</b> <br><br><i><b>'When My Family and Other Animals was published it was as if someone had flung back the curtains, thrown up the windows and let in a stream of bright light'</b> - </i>Kathryn Hughes, Guardian<br><br><i><b>'Gerald Durrell was magic'</b></i> - Sir David Attenborough <br><br><i>'Living in Corfu was rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas'</i><br><br>It is 1935 and the Durrells have escaped the leaden summer skies of Bournemouth to arrive 'like a troupe of medieval tumblers' on the sun-drenched island of Corfu for a new life. Gerald Durrell's beloved portrayal of his chaotic family - beatific Mother, Roger the dog, diet-obsessed Margo, book-loving Lawrence and gun-wielding Leslie - as well as his own adventures with a burgeoning menagerie of beasts, birds and insects (including an owl called Ulysses), is a timeless account of an idyllic childhood and an uproarious portrait of the English abroad.</p>
