Description
The Story
In The Durrells of Corfu, Michael Haag captures the enchanting tales of the Durrell family as they leave behind the drab confines of post-war England for the sun-drenched shores of Corfu. This vivid biography weaves together the adventures and misadventures of Gerald Durrell, whose passion for wildlife and the natural world blossomed amidst the island's lush landscapes, and his mother, Louisa, who sought to create a nurturing home for her spirited children. Through rich anecdotes and heartfelt narratives, Haag unveils the complexities of family life, the joy of discovery, and the beauty of nature that defined the Durrells' time on the island.
