The author of the Corfu Trilogy—the inspiration for the Masterpiece production T he Durrells in Corfu— reflects on a life spent among humans and animals.

In My Family and Other Animals and its sequels, Gerald Durrell writes of his family's antics during their time on the Greek island of Corfu. In his later memoirs, he vividly describes his expeditions to other, faraway places.

In Fillets of Plaice, he compiles a quintet of hilarious stories that touch on all of the above and more—from his unconventional childhood to his passion for animal conservation as an adult.
