Gerald Durrell's Legacy Revived by New Publication

Gerald Durrell, a naturalist and writer, is being celebrated with the release of a book called "Myself & Other Animals" and in his centenary year.

As a child in India and later Corfu, Greece, Durrell lived a life filled with animals.

Following his father's death, Durrell's family moved from India to England, then to the Greek island of Corfu.

There, young Gerald explored nature and met his mentor, Theodore Stephanides.

These experiences inspired Durrell's famous "Corfu Trilogy" books, which described his childhood with humour.
