- Synopsis:
- Adapted from Gerald Durrell's best-selling autobiography, this much-loved classic tells the story of the naturalist's childhood years spent on the island of Corfu. A new world of freedom and adventure opens up to young Gerald when his somewhat eccentric family decide to leave the grey skies of England behind and start a new life. He soon discovers the wonder of nature in this sun-drenched environment and into the lives of the family come a succession of colourful characters, including large-than-life taxi-driver Spiro who helps them move from one villa to the next.
