Corfu trilogy information


The Corfu trilogy is the unofficial name for three autobiographical books by British naturalist Gerald Durrell, giving humorous, exaggerated and sometimes fictionalised stories of the years that he lived as a child with his siblings and widowed mother on the Greek island of Corfu between 1935 and 1939. It describes the life of the Durrell family in a humorous manner, and explores the fauna of the island.[1] A television series based on the trilogy, The Durrells, aired for four series from 3 April 2016 to 12 May 2019.[2]

The three books are:

  • My Family and Other Animals (1956);
  • Birds, Beasts, and Relatives (1969); and
  • The Garden of the Gods (American title: Fauna and Family) (1978).
