My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell (A Review)

A charming book full of a youthful perspective on life and nature. It speaks of another time, when it was considerfed OK to go and collect live specimans to study and when children wandering the countriside alone was quite normal. The charactes were intersting, each member of the family standing out clearly as individuals. And the animals were original and often very funny. A lovely relaxing read.

This book is now winging its way with bookcrossing after I left it in a bird hide. Hopefully someone will find it and take it home to their nest.
