As a boy, Durrell – a celebrated naturalist – spent four glorious years in the late 1930s living with his family on the Greek island of Corfu (home to every backpacker’s favorite hostel – The Pink Palace). His youthful zoological adventures are interwoven with wonderfully entertaining family anecdotes about the creatures he brought home as a child. Universally charming and G-rated for audiences – so rare, nowadays.
