Birds, beasts and relatives

I read My Family and Other Animals long ago at the recommendation of a book friend, and I've never forgotten how wonderful it was. But that was before I had heard of the Corfu series on PBS. And I had no idea that Gerald Durrell had written two other books about his life on Corfu.

This is just what I look for in a mood-boosting book. It's light, but it also has deep truths. It's beautifully written, but not written in a way that leaves your brain scrambled.

I think I shall read on with book three.
