Birds, Beasts and Relatives
Audio Cassettes
Cairo - Kids’ Corner

Gerald Durrell was ten when he went to live in Corfu with his family. It was there that he met the intoxicated hedgehogs, as well as a dancing bear,  a talking head, tarantulas, dung beetles, water spiders and, of course, a menagerie of eccentric friends. They’re all here in one of Gerald Durrell’s best works.

His imagery of the lush flora and fauna there make it seem irresistible to anyone, especially kids. This story focuses a bit more on the animals and less on the comical family. This audio book is very relaxing to listen to and almost makes you feel like a little child again. Slow paced and funny, this enjoyable audio puts Corfu at the top of my list of places to go.

The Gathering
Anne Enright
F THE
Alexandria

The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam. It wasn't the drink that killed him - although that certainly helped - it was what happened to him as a boy in his grandmother's house, in the winter of 1968. "The Gathering" is a novel about love and disappointment, about thwarted lust and limitless desire, and how our fate is written in the body, not in the stars.
