Marrying Off Mother: And Other Stories Durrell GeraldPaperback
"These stories are full of romps, archness, and old-fashioned silliness."--Boston Globe.A world-famous conservationist and humorist, Gerald Durrell shares eight irresistible stories that beg to be retold over and over again. Durrell returns to his Corfu childhood and reintroduces the members of the Durrell clan familiar from My Family and Other Animals. He Durrell's wit is on-point and as said in the San Francisco Chronicle, "The old Durrell charm is still there." "All of these stories are true," states Gerald Durrell in the preface to this newest collection of his fiction, but he quickly amends, "To be strictly accurate, some are true, some have a kernel of truth and a shell of embroidery."Ranging from the equator to the southern coast of England, Marrying off Mother and Other Stories covers a wonderfully eccentric cast of characters.
