The third book in The Corfu Trilogy, this work recounts the experiences of Gerald Durrell and his family during their five years on the enchanting island of Corfu before the Second World War. For the young zoologist, Corfu represented a natural paradise filled with an array of fascinating birds and animals that he eagerly collected, observed, and cared for. However, his passion for animal collecting often clashed with family life, leading to humorous and chaotic situations, particularly when his creatures found their way into the family's villa or, even more comically, into the fridge. Through vivid storytelling, Durrell captures the beauty of the island and the challenges of balancing his love for wildlife with the realities of family dynamics.
