One of my favorite books ever. I really enjoyed it as a child. Just read it again and it is just as good as I remember it. Very humorous and warm description of animals and... people.
Gerald Durrell, his very famous older brother with his 'interesting' friends, animals, Corfu in the 30's, love this book, have read it so many times. I still want to go to Greece because of it and have yet to make it, but soon, soon.
