About this listen

The Durrell family returns to the island of Corfu, continuing the story begun in My Family and Other Animals. Already an ardent naturalist at the age of 10, the young Gerald lives in an unconventional and disordered household with his mother, sister, and two brothers. Convivial and open, the family plays host to a constant stream of quirky guests. But for Gerald, the main attraction is the wildlife of Corfu.

Davenport is really great but I wish Hugh Bonneville would redo the full series unabridged.

This is a book I listen to when I need cheered up. Fun, harmless, funny and somehow it exudes goodwill.

Great fun

I love how the hilarious stories of the family inter mingle with fascinating animal facts. I am almost certain Corfu has made its way to the top of my “places to visit” list based purely on the vivid descriptions and stories of Gerald Durrell. If ever one is looking for a light hearted novel that is sure to make you laugh, this is one for you.

As good as the first book in this series,
the narrator was brilliant at bringing book 1 to life,
in book 2 he is the icing on the cake.

Second of Corfu Trilogy :-)
