# Birds, Beasts and Relatives by Gerald Durrell (Paperback)

_'Another tiger-golden day lay ahead of us. It was as though England had never really existed'_  
  
The Durrell clan's escapades on their Greek island home resume with the second volume of the _Corfu Trilogy_. Budding zoologist Gerald continues to explore the natural wonders around him, enjoying a night fishing trip, receiving a donkey as a birthday present and accidentally bringing a bear home for tea. Here too are more stories of the eccentric creatures he calls his family, including Margo's ill-advised foray into spiritualism and what becomes known as 'Mother's Great Romance'. Ending as the Second World War is declared, _Birds, Beasts and Relatives_ is an enchanting return to a magical place.
