A very humorous tale about an endearingly eccentric family and a young boy's insatiable love of nature and of life. Clearly set in a different time (perhaps best appreciated by those like myself who are just old enough to have experienced it?) and in a place at once exotic but familiar enough to be relatable. The prose is at times poetic and at times ribald, and it always moves along briskly. As a bonus you'll learn something of the flora and fauna of Corfu.
