Garden of the Gods
Garden of the Gods | Gerald Durrell
8 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
The third book in The Corfu Trilogy (after My Family and Other Animals and Birds, Beasts and Relatives), the beloved books that inspired ITV's television series The Durrells. Just before the Second World War the Durrell family decamped to the glorious, sun-soaked island of Corfu where the youngest of the four children, ten-year-old Gerald, discovered his passion for animals: toads and tortoises, bats and butterflies, scorpions and octopuses. Through glorious silver-green olive groves and across brilliant-white beaches Gerry pursued his obsession . . . causing hilarity and mayhem in his ever-tolerant family.

This is the last book in the Corfu trilogy and I‘m a little sad to say goodbye to the Durrells. They are quite the family.

Gerry is mostly focusing on his animals and his trips with Theodore. But there‘s also room for Larry and Larry‘s friends that suddenly drop in, Leslie, Margot and their mother. Their mother must be a saint to put up with them all.

Jerdencon I haven‘t read the books - but the show was excellent!! 2y
DivineDiana @Jerdencon Agree! The mother was a saint! 2y
AnneCecilie @DivineDiana @Jerdencon The show‘s amazing, but the books have even more episodes that happen 😊 imagine having a mother like that. (edited) 2y

Librarybelle Excellent! I‘ve seen some of the shows, and I have to agree that the mother has to be a saint! 2y

#BookReport

I finished Northanger Abbey and started both Villette and Jane Austen‘s Letters #PemberLittens. I‘m using last Sunday‘s picture so the Letters isn‘t pictured, they arrived late and I‘m playing catch up.

I finished Kairos.
Currently reading The Christmas Chronicles, Monstress vol 6 and The Garden of the Gods.

There's no book on my shelves that #beginswith #garden so here's a picture of the park in Colorado (not the setting of the tagged book) from about ten years ago. It was the only time during the week I was there for work that the weather was anything but sunny and glorious, but I kind of like the Emyn Muil look.

Texreader Oh I‘ve been there. Maybe about ten years ago too 3y

#bfc #bookfitnesschallenge update. This last week I missed the mark again. Only getting yoga in 1 day out of 4 and only walking 3 miles out of 10. I know my schedule is wild right now but I also think my discipline is lacking. I recognize this and will try to do better. Today I went on a hike with my sister who is visiting from Phoenix . We walked some new trails at the Garden of the Gods.

Leftcoastzen Beautiful!Some is better than none,sometimes it‘s just as much as you can do. 6y
wanderinglynn The important thing is you‘re keeping at it & not quitting. And hiking is a great workout! 🙌🏻 6y

The final volume of The Corfu Trilogy (later published as Family and Fauna). These are such charming books and I‘m going to be a bit sad when I‘m finished. ❤️
