When the unconventional Durrell family can no longer endure the damp, gray English climate, they do what any sensible family would do: sell their house and relocate to the sunny Greek isle of Corfu. My Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the island but ended up as a delightful account of Durrell’s family’s experiences, from the many eccentric hangers-on to the ceaseless procession of puppies, toads, scorpions, geckoes, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, bats, and butterflies into their home.

Gerald "Gerry" Malcolm Durrell was born in India in 1925. His elder siblings are Lawrence Durrell, Leslie Durrell, and Margaret Durrell. His family settled on Corfu when Durrell was a boy and he spent his time studying its wildlife. He relates these experiences in the trilogy beginning with My Family and Other Animals, and continuing with Birds, Beasts and Relatives and The Garden of the Gods. In his books he writes with wry humour and great perception about both the humans and the animals he meets.
On leaving Corfu he returned to England to work on the staff of Whipsnade Park as a student keeper. His adventures there are told with characteristic energy in Beasts in My Belfry. A few years later, Durrell began organising his own animal-collecting expeditions. The first, to the Cameroons, was followed by expeditions to Paraguay, Argentina and Sierra Leone. He recounts these experiences in a number of books, including The Drunken Forest. Durrell also visited many countries while shooting various television series, including An Amateur Naturalist. In 1958 Gerald Durrell realised a lifelong dream when he set up the Jersey Zoological Park, followed a few years later by the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust.
Durell was married twice; Jacquie Durrell (1951-1979), Lee Durrell (1979-1995).
Gerald Durrell's style is exuberant, passionate and acutely observed. Gerald Durrell died in 1995.

“Each day had a tranquility, a timelessness, about it, so that you wished it would never end. But then the dark skin of night would peel off and there would be a fresh day waiting for us, glossy and colourful as a child's transfer and with the same tinge of unreality.” 在岛上寻找到蠼螋的巢穴是最兴奋的，细致的描写着翻开石头下的每一个角落，静静的观察那些白色的卵和蠼螋母亲，等待着新生命的到来。 ...

这样的生活！除了迷人的大小动植物、景色描写外，每次搬家的 conversation 章节也非常有趣。“儿戏”的挪窝理由，让你觉得啊生活真的可以，有无数种可能。

看完这本书我内心真是充满羡慕。羡慕一家人可以齐齐整整生活在一起，可以团结一致说走就走去到童话般的小岛上生活，但最最羡慕这样的家庭里每个人都可以做自己，可以肆无忌惮的沉迷于自己所热爱的事情并且得到包容和鼓励。 这是个充满爱和欢乐的故事，也是我们这些庸庸碌碌之人的“向往的生活”。

这一家人没有一个工作的，房子说换就换，经常办宴会，出去玩，给孩子请老师，定杂志，家里还有佣人，还有船。估计是本来家族就有钱吧，以及有父亲的抚恤金。 而且确实奇怪哈，没有任何地方提到死去的父亲，就跟不存在一样。也许因为是三部曲，后面会提？或者就是对于十岁的孩子来说，这都不是他操心的问题，他就是每天带着狗东游西逛的探索世界，多么理想的生活，多么短暂的幸福时光。
