Beschreibung

<p><b>Gerald Durrell's beloved account of his childhood in Corfu, now in Penguin Modern Classics for the first time</b><i><br><br><b>'Durrell has an uncanny knack of discovering human as well as animal eccentricities'</b> - Sunday Telegraph</i> <br><br><i>'My collection of animals swelled to a point where even Mother occasionally grew alarmed'<br></i><br>The island of Corfu, where the Durrell family live in agreeable chaos, is paradise for aspiring naturalist Gerald. His battalion of creatures has grown to include eleven puppies, a toad named Dierdre and an unwelcome infestation of scorpions. Yet the human visitors to their sun-drenched villa are even more curious, whether it is an innocent pair of American painters ripe for practical jokes, or a supercilious Count who barely survives an outing on Gerald's home-made boat, the <i>Bootle-bumtrinket</i>. The third volume in the <i>Corfu Trilogy</i> brings this glorious tale of halcyon days to a close.</p>
