I agree that the books about Gerald Durrell's quirky yet idyllic childhood on the island of Corfu are much funnier and filled with warmth compared to the PBS TV series, which is darker. I've read all of his books based on his time in Corfu: 'My Family and Other Animals', 'Birds, Beasts and Relatives' and 'Fauna and Family'. He also wrote 'Menagerie Manor', about his adventures later in life, at the zoo he founded on the Island of Jersey. I love these books and admire his passion for animal conservation and also his wonderfully humorous writing style.
