📖 Fauna and Family

For fans of the PBS Masterpiece Theater series, The Durrells in Corfu Fauna and Family is the third in Durrell’s Corfu trilogy that begins with My Family and Other Animals and continues with Birds, Beasts and Relatives . Of this book, Durrell writes in his foreword, “I hope that it might give the same pleasure to its readers as apparently its predecessors have done, as for me it portrays a very important part of my life . . . which is a truly happy and sunlit childhood.” The rest of the story of Durrell's zoological life continues in Fillets of Plaice and Beasts in My Belfry where he at last fulfilled his life-long dream.
