My Family and Other Animals
by Gerald Durrell
My Family and Other Animals is a memoir written by the naturalist Gerald Durrell, about his life in Corfu in the 1930s. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, and his passion for the natural world is contagious. We also highly recommend the audiobook, which is great for family trips as it’s amusing and entertaining for children and adults alike.
