Synopsis

In Corfu, Mother is given a calamitous birthday party, which starts with the hi-jacking of the icebox and ends with the entire gathering marooned on a remote and deserted beach. At a dinner party in Cameroon, uninvited guests include a green mamba, numerous geckos, and eight tree frogs. And in Bournemouth, we meet the delightful, ravishing Ursula, the Mrs Malaprop of the South Coast who bombards her gracious surroundings with outsize social gaffes.

From the Inside Flap

Fauna and Family, also known as The Garden of the Gods, is the third in Durrell's Corfu trilogy that begins with his beloved classic, My Family and Other Animals and continues with Birds, Beasts and Relatives. In his foreword to Fauna and Family, Durrell confessed that in the first two books, "I had left out a number of incidents and characters that I would have liked to have described, and I have attempted to repair this omission in this book . . . I hope that it might give the same pleasure to its readers as apparently its predecessors have done, as for me it portrays a very important part of my life . . . which is a truly happy and sunlit childhood."

Also available from Godine: Fillets of Plaice

About the Author

Gerald Durrell founded the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Durrell Wildlife Park on the isle of Jersey in 1959. But he is perhaps best remembered for the books based on his life as an animal collector and enthusiast and his immortal My Family and Other Animals trilogy.
