Many readers will be familiar with Durrell's "My Family and Other Animals", the autobiography he wrote in 1956 about his idyllic childhood in Corfu. The Corfu Trilogy includes two more books on the same theme "Birds, Beasts and Relatives" (1969) and "The Garden of the Gods" (1978). Presumably there must have been demand for more of the same since these publication dates are so wide apart, and Durrell had published numerous books in the interim, dealing with his animal exploits, all told in a very humorous way. Gerald Durrell is an author of fiction. His full name is Gerald Malcolm Durrell. Born January 7, 1925, in India, his family settled in Corfu when he was young and this gave Gerald some opportunity to study the wildlife there. He put these experiences into a trilogy that started off with My Family and Other Animals. He would follow it with two more, the last of which being titled The Garden of the Gods. He includes a lot of humor as well as details about animals and humans that he meets in them. Louisa is feeling frustrated, being left as the sole woman in the household after Margo follows Larry in leaving, although not to as independent a way of living, but rather becoming a vexing houseguest for a fastidious and compulsively-organized Theo. Louisa's jealousy over Spiros remains unresolved, and in return he accuses her of taking advantage of the litany of men in the household. The family's latest houseguest is the obnoxious sporting and war-addled Colonel Ribbidane, who pays Leslie to set up a wild boar hunt. Problems emerge, however: the land selected contains no wild boar, Leslie is imposed upon by Daphne to become a babysitter at short notice and he is obliged to bring the infant along to the hunt, and he has to delude the Colonel into thinking there are wild boar present by enlisting a secreted Basil to simulate boar grunts and calls in return for him being taught how to woo Louisa, with whom he confesses to being in love. The hunt is brought to a climax when Gerry—the only family member not considering fleeing the nest—and Galini's efforts to stop it go awry. Not quite. The show is based on the real Durrell family’s exploits, as recounted in youngest son Gerald’s bestselling 1956 book My Family and Other Animals, and the two books that followed, together making up his charming and funny Corfu trilogy. Gerald was 10 when the family came to live on the Greek island and he had an idyllic time roaming around discovering local fauna: “If I had the craft of Merlin, I would give every child the gift of my childhood,” he wrote.
