Oh yes! I remember reading that for the first time when I was about 14, and have read it many many times, plus just about all of his other books.
I admire Durrell tremendously for what he achieved. He was poorly educated, couldn't spell, but a talented writer and dedicated pioneer wildlife conservationist. One day I hope to visit his zoo on Jersey: the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
I never want to visit Corfu, as the world about which he wrote has gone, and I get the impression that the island has been ruined by the holiday industry. The site of the strawberry pink villa I believe is now a runway for the airport.
