My Family and Other Animals

The main character is Gerald, a 10-year-old Darrell family member. He is the author of this book and this is a true story. In England, there are often conversations such as "Is this the year of summer?" That year would have been a year without summer. It is a story when the Darrell family moved from England to Greece, which has a bad climate even though it is summer. Gerald is an animal lover and makes a fuss all over the house because of insects, snakes and birds he brings home. The people of Corfu Island in Greece who appear are also quite unique, but the people of the Darrell family are also unique.


Gerald's mother allowed to evacuate to the bath at home by Gerald's request when his snakes were about to die in the heat. She is kind but strange.If I was her, I'll never allow to do. Also Gerald's brothers and sisters, Larry, Leslie, and Margo, are also unique and quite interesting. If you have such a pleasant family, I would like to have a family relationship. No, it might be better to stop...
