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