danadalloway 's review for:
My Family and Other Animals
by Gerald Durrell
"Your laughter is disturbing me," said my husband from three rooms away. Perhaps it was this sally:
"'Don't move ... keep quite still, unless you want your legs taken off at the knee!' Larry informed the company. As a statement calculated to quell alarm, it left a lot to be desired. Everybody rose in a body and vacated the table."
Between the dreamy beauty of Corfu before tourism, the youthful fascination with every living thing (from a battle between a gecko and a praying mantis to the description of the scent of lilies that only bloom at one inland lake fringed by glittering white sand), and the riotous adventures that result when four adults share a villa with an inquisitive ten year old, this book alternatively enchants and amuses. Loved it!
