The story of the extravagant Durrell family who, tired of the rainy and unhealthy English climate, move to the sun-drenched Greek island of Corfu. In Corfu they experience a lot of adventures and befriend many interesting people, including doctor Theodore Stephanides, a polymath who, just like Gerry, adores nature and helps him explore the island’s varied wildlife.
