"A lot of frolic, fun, and charming ribaldry, as well as the warm feeling of having been transported to a lovely spot where worry is unknown and anything is believable." ( The New York Times)

Story of a boy,his family and many insect+animals

I thought this would be more like Attenborough stuff, but it is a over dramatized life of the author during his stay in Corfu. He got a chance to collect lots of insects, birds, animals and shared their story. It was funny at many points, never sad and overall enjoyable. This would be a great book to have as a kid. as an adult, I wanted more facts than fiction. the narrator did a great job, specially with mom and brother voices.
