 Review If the Greek islands are on your itinerary,
don't miss this fabulously forthright read. Greece obviously pulses strongly
through author Facaros, whose father comes from the northeastern Aegean island
of Ikaría. She has spent more than two decades hopping these islands to
bring you the most relevant, revealing, and readable tidbits on Greece's famous
outer reaches. With interesting cultural sidebars scattered throughout, Cadogan
Greek Islands offers more than a listing of eats and sleeps (though there are
plenty of detailed recommendations for places to dine and stay).

| My Family and Other Animals. by Gerald Malcolm
Durrell Paperback Reprint edition (August 1979) Viking Pr;
Amazon
 Review: As a self-described "champion
of small uglies," English writer Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) devoted his
life to writing and the preservation of wildlife, from the Mauritius pink
pigeon to the Rodriques fruit bat. My Family and Other Animals was intended to
embrace the natural history of the Greek island of Corfu, but ended up as a
delightful account of his family's experiences that were, according to him,
"rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic
operas." Amazon.com
Review: Unbelievably Hilarious! This book was really really funny- I
embarrassed myself by laughin out loud uproariously on a public bus... his
vocabulary is fantastic and his story telling abilities amazing. This book will
make you long to visit Greece... and will brighten your day as you recognize
characterisitcs of your own family in his truthful anecdotes. Definitely worth
owning 2 copies...one to read and one to lend.
Webmaster: Gerald Durrell lived on Corfu, I read it twenty years ago and
it was a hoot then. A good holiday read.
