My Family and Other Animals: The Corfu Trilogy
Autor Gerald Durrellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 apr 2017
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 charmMy Family and Other Animalsis a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood.
