A childhood dream.
As an animal lover, I was instantly drawn to this three‑part tale of Gerald Durrell’s blossoming passion for the creatures he collected on sun‑drenched Corfu.
Told with the humour and affection of his adult hindsight, Durrell’s adventures among toads, tortoises, bats, and every other creature he could coax home—all under the gaze of his wonderfully tolerant family—are funny, vivid, and utterly heartwarming.
It’s a book I return to with joy every time.
From Beth's list on superbly written animal tales.
