Brookside Book Discussion

Read "My Family and Other Animals" by Gerald Durrell and then join us for a lively discussion on Zoom! Email br@tulsalibrary.org for details to join the meeting.

When the Durrells could no longer endure the gray English climate, they did what any sensible family would do: sold their house and relocated to the sun-soaked island of Corfu. As they settled into their new home, hilarious mishaps ensued as a 10-year-old Gerald Durrell pursued his interest in natural history and explored the island's fauna. Soon, toads and tortoises, bats and butterflies--as well as scorpions, geckos, ladybugs, praying mantises, octopuses, pigeons, and gulls--became a common sight in the Durrell villa. Uproarious tales of the island's animals and Durrell's fond reflections on his family bring this delightful memoir to life.
