Volume Two of Gerald Durrellâs beloved account of his childhood in Corfu, now in Penguin Modern Classics for the first time

''A lot of frolic, fun and charming ribaldry, as well as the warm feeling of having been transported to a lovely spot where worry is unknown and anything is believable'' - The New York Times

âAnother tiger-golden day lay ahead of us. It was as though England had never really existedâ

The Durrell clanâs escapades on their Greek island home resume with the second volume of the Corfu Trilogy. Budding zoologist Gerald continues to explore the natural wonders around him, enjoying a night fishing trip, receiving a donkey as a birthday present and accidentally bringing a bear home for tea. Here too are more stories of the eccentric creatures he calls his family, including Margoâs ill-advised foray into spiritualism and what becomes known as âMotherâs Great Romanceâ. Ending as the Second World War is declared, Birds, Beasts and Relatives is an enchanting return to a magical place.
