Book Review: "One Travelling Circus and Staff"
Summary: 4 Stars
From a young age, Gerald Durrell, an early environmental preservationist, had a love for all types of animals. This interest was greatly encouraged during the five years Durrell and his family lived on the island of Corfu, an undeveloped paradise before WWII. Durrell's calm and rather long-suffering mother brought her three sons, including the not-yet-acclaimed writer Lawrence Durell, and daughter to the island as antidote to England's year-round gloomy weather. A warm and witty look at an eccentric British family also introduces the reader to the rustic residents of Corfu and flora and fauna ranging from insects to owls. This wonderful family read-aloud for ages 12 and up.
