Описание: `What we all need,` said Larry, `is sunshine... a country where we can grow.` `Yes, dear, that would be nice,` agreed Mother, not really listening. `I had a letter from George this morning - he says Corfu`s wonderful. Why don`t we pack up and go to Greece?` `Very well, dear, if you like,` said Mother unguardedly.

Описание: Escaping the ills of the British climate, the Durrell family - acne-ridden Margo, gun-toting Leslie, bookworm Lawrence and budding naturalist Gerry, along with their long-suffering mother and Roger the dog - take off for the island of Corfu. But the Durrells find that, reluctantly, they must share their various villas with a menagerie of local fauna - among them scorpions, geckos, toads, bats and butterflies. Recounted with immense humour and charm My Family and Other Animals is a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood. 'Durrell has an uncanny knack of discovering human as well as animal eccentricities' Sunday Telegraph

Описание: In the gloom it came along the branches towards me, its round, hypnotic eyes blazing, its spoon-like ears turning to and fro independently like radar dishes ...it was Lewis Carroll`s Jabberwocky come to life ...one of the most incredible creatures I had ever been privileged to meet.
