The Corfu Trilogy by Gerald Durrell
5.0

Gerald Durell is a world famous naturalist who spent his childhood in the beautiful Greek island of Corfu with his family that consisted of his Mom,his brothers Lawrence (a writer himself) and Leslie , sister Margaret and not to mention also the menagerie of animals they kept as pets😃.This trilogy consists of his famous ,"My Family and other Animals", and it's sequels ,"Birds,Beasts and Relatives " and "The Garden of the Gods ".
Gerald Durell's writing shows us that this man loves nature and all its creations especially the animals with all his heart.There is so much he writes about them that as a reader ,you will find yourself marvelling at Gods creations and the wonder and complexity that nature is.I loved the part where he talks about two birds building nests and the different fashions in which they forage for food to feed their young ones.The stories have many humorous anecdotes about his family members that will keep you smiling throughout.
If you love stories about animals and if you are a nature lover ,don't miss this one❤️
