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.

Story251
The enchanted island of Corfu was home to Gerald Durrell and his family for five years before the Second World War. For the passionate young zoologist, Corfu was a natural paradise, teeming with strange birds and beasts that he could collect watch and care for. But life was not without its problems - Gerald’s family often objected to his animal-collecting activities, especially when the beasts wound up in the family’s villa or even worse - the fridge.

Gerald Durrell's last book, The Aye-Aye and I, records his final animal-collecting expedition, a trip to Madagascar in 1990, and his efforts to save the elusive and mythical lemuroid known as the Aye-Aye. Prompted by the country's radical deforestation and slash-and-burn agriculture, Durrell, his wife, and their team of zoologists embark on a mission to capture and conserve the species - distinguished by its "giant, chisel-like teeth", "round, hypnotic eyes", and large "spoon-like ears".

Beasts in My Belfry is the wonderfully funny memoir about Gerald Durrell's time at Whipsnade Zoo and his experiences as a young zookeeper. Following the Second World War, Durrell joined Whipsnade Zoo as a junior keeper - an opportunity that fulfilled a lifelong dream. Thanks to Rupert Degas's brilliant voicing, which captures all of Durrell's charm and wit, the listener can enjoy being taken behind the scenes of one of the world's very first zoos. This is a delightful portrait of the animals who lived there and those who looked after them.

Myself and Other Animals is a new book mosaicked from unpublished autobiographies, uncollected pieces and previously published extracts from Durrell’s work and archives. The result is an extraordinary journey through Durrell’s life in his own words, edited and introduced by his widow Lee Durrell. Moving from India to England and then to the always sun-lit Corfu, told with dry wit and insight into our fellow animals, here is the vivid finale of one of Britain’s most beloved conservationists and prose stylists.

A serdülő Gerry Durrell életében először munkába áll: ápolóként a whipsnade-i állatkertben. Játékos jegesmedvék, gézengúz gnúk, púpos pöffeszkedők és egyéb állatfajták kószálnak itt, olykor halálra rémítve az állatkert gyanútlan látogatóit. Gerry pedig vigyorogva áll a forgatag közepén, és összekacsint az olvasóval: Lám, mi tudjuk, hogyan kell az állatokkal bánni, nem úgy, mint sok látogató.

Azért vezeti Emmát, Konrádot és Ivánt ebbe a korba, mert a dinoszauruszokat komoly veszély fenyegeti: a 20. századból megérkezett hozzájuk Lord Irtó Artúr, a vandál vadász, és fegyverhordozója, a rovott múltú Betonkéz. Hőseink a dinoszauruszok segítségével szeretnék megfékezni őket, hogy nyugodt lelkiismerettel térhessenek vissza a jelenbe.
