The Corfu Trilogy combines Gerald Durrell's three fictive-factive works (My Family and Other Animals, Birds, Beasts and Relatives, The Garden of the Gods) about his family's lives on Corfu. It introduces the distinctive family members (Mother, Lawrence (Larry), Leslie, Margaret (Margo) and Gerald (Gerry) as well as the two especially significant locals, Spiro and Theo. As Margo observes, "Writers are liars", Gerald Durrell neglects some facts, twists some others and writes to entertain. He has succeeded.

Such a good out loud laugh in so many places, and great descriptions of Corfu and the characters. I wanted to start from the beginning again after I had finished.p
