Following My Family and Other Animals, Birds, Beasts and Relatives, and The Garden of the Gods, this collection charts young Gerald's growing passion for wildlife amid the chaos of his eccentric family. Warm, witty, and beautifully observed, it's the perfect gift for nature lovers, travel readers, and fans of the ITV series The Durrells, which the trilogy inspired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJust before the Second World War, the Durrell family relocated from England to Corfu, where ten-year-old Gerald discovered a lifelong passion for the natural world. My Family and Other Animals introduces the family — acerbic Larry, gun-obsessed Leslie, boy-mad Margo, their long-suffering mother, and Gerald himself — as they settle into island life amid his ever-expanding menagerie. Birds, Beasts and Relatives continues the adventure as Gerald roams the olive groves and beaches collecting toads, tortoises, bats, butterflies, scorpions, and octopuses, much to his family's exasperation. The Garden of the Gods completes the trilogy, deepening Gerald's bond with Corfu's creatures and delivering more of the domestic mayhem that made the series a classic. Together, these three memoirs combine natural history, family comedy, and travel writing into an irresistible portrait of a rare and magical childhood. Durrell's affectionate, funny prose has charmed generations of readers, and this brand new paperback set brings all three stories together for collectors and fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete trilogy:\u003c\/strong\u003e All three Corfu memoirs together in one brand new paperback set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBestselling, much-loved author:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gerald Durrell's classic humour and natural history writing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspired the hit ITV series:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Durrells, bringing the family's story to a new generation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect gift set:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for nature lovers, travel readers, and fans of memoir and humour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimeless appeal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loved by adults and older readers alike since first publication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGerald Durrell was born in India in 1925 and moved to Corfu with his family as a boy, where he developed his lifelong fascination with animals and the natural world.
