As read on Radio National recently, and lovingly recommended by Marieke Hardy of "First Tuesday Book Club" fame, Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals is a Summer charmer. If you haven't yet read this little masterpiece - DO! It will have you desperately scheming your way from Canberra to Corfu.

A wonderful autobiographical novel. Fleeing the gloomy British climate, the Durrell clan move to Corfu carrying the bare essentials of life: acne cures for Margo; revolvers for Leslie; books for Larry and a jam jar full of caterpillars for Gerry. Recounted with warmth and humour, it is a heart-warming portrait of an eccentric family surrounded by a wonderful cast of friends and fauna.
