I loved his other books so much, I decided to adopt an animal at his wildlife park Durrell in Jersey, certainly don’t regret doing so! Can’t wait to read this book!Robertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515972764985458916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-74498959939244802752010-01-31T17:59:50.118-08:002010-01-31T17:59:50.118-08:00This book is one that my parents pressed into my h...This book is one that my parents pressed into my hands and demanded that I read. They own ALL the Durrell books, and they're bigger on libraries than on buying books, usually.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-58435124807039131452010-01-31T11:34:19.607-08:002010-01-31T11:34:19.607-08:00This sounds wonderful!This sounds wonderful!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932060902413958983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-87718333846341137932010-01-31T07:31:26.831-08:002010-01-31T07:31:26.831-08:00I'm one who has NOT seen this book but it sure...I'm one who has NOT seen this book but it sure just went on my TBR list with "blame" to you!

I remember reading and enjoying this book when I was in high school (just a few years ago now). I can't remember specifics though of course. Is it a book that would be suitable to read out loud to the modern dog and animal mad 9 year old?Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-31667681831258282782010-01-30T15:08:56.250-08:002010-01-30T15:08:56.250-08:00Yes, these books are buried treasure in the US.

She wrapped it up with a note that she wanted to get it for me but couldn't find it so I'd better get her copy back to her soon. It was probably one of my favorite gifts.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005286623073064886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-72633151140955578952010-01-30T15:03:32.256-08:002010-01-30T15:03:32.256-08:00I read and loved this book in high school.

There are two ...One of my all-time favorite books. There are two more about Corfu - <i>Birds, Beasts, and Relatives</i> and <i>Garden of the Gods</i> - both wonderful. Lawrence Durrell wrote a lovely little (but very different) memoir of Corfu - <i>Prospero's Cell</i>. My British friends think it's weird we Americans don't know about these books because they're so ubiquitous there. Durrell's animal collecting memoirs are hysterically funny, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00374987261333318644noreply@blogger.com
