Gerald Durrell at his best
I am familiar with Corfu and the life and works of Lawrence and Gerald, and this is spot on. Transported by back to that magical Island.

Gerald had the most amazing childhood and this shines through in these enchanting tales, brilliantly told by Gerry himself. Fantastic.

Delightful ... short, but a lovely listen
I so enjoyed Gerald Durrell reading his own stories.
Lots of laughs, and bits of interest. Yes, a bit short ... but I bought it in the £3 sale - so well worth it!

Lovely tales
Beautiful stories narrated by Gerry himself. A lovely companion to the books and so full of life. Perhaps an overuse of the word 'belligerent' but I wonder whether this wasn't just a state of being for the family when in conversation!
