Gerald Malcolm Durrell, OBE (7 January 1925 – 30 January 1995) was a British naturalist, writer, zookeeper, conservationist, and television presenter. He founded the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Jersey Zoo on the Channel Island of Jersey in 1959. His memoirs of his family's years living in My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) Greece were adapted into two television series (My Family and Other Animals, 1987, and The Durrells, 2016–2019) and one television film (My Family and Other Animals, 2005). He wrote approximately forty books, mainly about his life as an animal collector and enthusiast, the most famous being My Family and Other My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) Animals (1956). He was the youngest brother of novelist Lawrence Durrell.
Durrell was born in Jamshedpur, Mayurbhanj State, British India, on 7 January 1925.[1] He was the fifth and youngest child (an elder sister having died in infancy) of Louisa Florence Dixie and Lawrence Samuel Durrell, both of whom were My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) born in India of English and Irish descent. Durrell's father
was a British engineer and, as was commonplace and befitting the family status, the infant Durrell spent most of his time in the company of an ayah (nursemaid). Durrell reportedly recalled his first visit to a zoo in India and My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) attributed his lifelong love of animals to that encounter. He studied in St Josephs School North Point Darjeeling.
The family moved to Britain shortly before the death of his father in 1928 and settled in the Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace area of South London.[2] Durrell was enrolled in Wickwood School, My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) but frequently stayed at home feigning illness.[3]
Louisa Durrell moved to the Greek island of Corfu in 1935 with Leslie, Margaret, and Gerald, joining her eldest son Lawrence who had arrived there with his wife Nancy about a week earlier. It was on Corfu that Durrell began to collect and My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) keep the local fauna as pets.
The family lived on Corfu until 1939, and this interval became the basis of
Durrell's books My Family and Other Animals; Birds, Beasts, and Relatives; and The Garden of the Gods; plus a few short stories such as "My Donkey Sally". The Corfu My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) years also set the background for two TV series and one telefilm. Durrell was home-schooled during this time by various private tutors, mostly friends of his brother Lawrence.
Theodore Stephanides was a Greek-British doctor, scientist, poet, translator, and a friend of George Wilkinson, one of Durrell's tutors. He became Durrell's My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) greatest friend and mentor, his ideas leaving a lasting impression on the young naturalist. Together, they examined Corfu's fauna, which Durrell housed in a variety of items including test tubes and bathtubs. Stephanides' daughter Alexia Mercouri (1927–2018) accompanied the two on their field trips. She stated that both families had My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) hoped that she and Durrell would marry one day, but any such prospect was disrupted by the outbreak of war in 1939.[4]
In March 1973, in his introduction to Stephanides'
book Island Trails, Durrell recorded:
He strolled into my life, tweed-suited, trilby-hatted, his walking stick with its tiny net on My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) the end, his bag of test tubes and bottles slung on his hip, his beard twinkling in the sun; a sort of walking hirsute encyclopaedia. The effect of Theodore's erudition on a budding naturalist of ten was enormous. To me, just starting to explore and learn about the world I My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) lived in, to have Theodore as guide, philosopher and friend was one of the most important things that have happened to me in my life. Not many young naturalists have the privilege of having their footsteps guided by a sort of omnipotent, benign and humorous Greek god.[5]
His other "heroes" My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) during these formative years, according to Durrell, were naturalists Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, Jean-Henri Fabre and Gilbert White.[5]
Durrell, his mother, his brother Leslie and their Greek maid Maria Kondos moved back to Britain in 1939 at the outbreak
of the Second World War. It was difficult to find My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) a job in the war and post-war years, especially for a home-schooled youth, but the enterprising Durrell worked as a helper at an aquarium and pet store. Some of the difficulties that he faced in this period can be found in Fillets of Plaice.
His call-up for the war came My Family and Other Animals (The Corfu Trilogy) (English Edition) in 1943, but he was exempted from military duty on medical grounds, and asked to
