The Garden of the Gods

De: Gerald Durrell

Narrado por: Christopher Timothy

The enchanted island of Corfu was home to Gerald Durrell and his family for five years before the Second World War. For the passionate young zoologist, Corfu was a natural paradise, teeming with strange birds and beasts that he could collect watch and care for. But life was not without its problems - Gerald’s family often objected to his animal-collecting activities, especially when the beasts wound up in the family’s villa or even worse - the fridge.

The wonderful Durrell tales…

The narration was totally wrong for Durrell’s words. The narrator was tripping over the sentences and couldn’t keep in time with the rhythm of Durrell’s delicious prose-very disappointed that the last book in the trilogy picked the wrong actor for the job!

Loved it!

Can't wait for the final instalment of the Cofru trilogy!!
The book is advertised as being read by Nigel Davenport, but the download gave me a recording of it by Christopher Timothy. He is still a wonderful reader of the story, but it may be a little surprising when you first begin the story if you're expecting to hear Davenport's voice.
Certainly not a problem overall and I highly recommend this series.

Wonderful Story

As with the first two books, this one was just as charming, interesting, and educational. My only disappointment was the narration. I much preferred Nigel Davenport. His depiction of the characters was more in keeping with the PBS series.

Fabulous!

True Durrell at his exquisitely performed by Christopher Timothy. Felt like you were there in the villa with them all.

Great book

This is a wonderful book but my only thing to say is that I wish that the narrator had used a pop filter on the microphone.
