Through glorious silver-green olive groves and across brilliant-white beaches Gerry pursued his obsession . . . causing hilarity and mayhem in his ever-tolerant family.

This is the 2nd in the trilogy of books which Gerald Durrell has written of his (and his family's) time growing up on the Greek island of Corfu just before WWII shattered the halcyon years that heavily influenced his later life as a world renowned naturalist. A wonderful remembrance of a very special time, living on Corfu.
