The continuation of My Family and Other Animals and the second book in The Corfu Trilogy, the beloved books that inspired the ITV series The Durrells. In this second collection of stories concerning the Durrell family in Corfu, young Gerry continues to be fascinated by the intriguing flora and fauna of his adopted home - much to the disappointment and concern of his siblings and mother. Whether it's fishing by night lights or exploring the countryside with his mentor Theodore, Gerry encounters inebriated hedgehogs, tarantulas, dung beetles, water scorpions, and other creatures, some of which become the family's unwanted pets.
