The enchanted island of Corfu was home to Gerald Durrell and his family for five years before the Second World War. For the passionate young zoologist, Corfu was a natural paradise, teeming with strange birds and beasts that he could collect watch and care for.

"Almost up to the standard of the two that went before, surpassing them in places. Perhaps I am Durrelled out, but this one is definitely a keeper! And Corfu is on my list, perhaps after another week on Kefallonia." — Peter (4 out of 5 stars)

" so far so funny "
" Wonderful stories of 12 year old Gerald Durrell collecting animals in Corfu. "
" 3rd book in Corfu trilogy. Not as engaging as My Family and other Animals but still a fun read. "
" i just love books from a young mans perspective, they always seem to love their mothers. "
" Ditto to what I wrote about the second book in Durrell's Corfu trilogy. Awesome, but not as hilarious as the first book. "
" Durrell's memoir of an incredible childhood spent roaming Corfu with cheese & bread in his bag and his dogs as companions. Also a bedroom that doubles as a zoo, much to the unhappiness of his family. "
" It's a vey nice book. I enjoyed it. It's not as goood as the "My family and other animals" but it has very funny and interesting stories. "
