Michael Haag

The Durrells of CorfuPavilion Arts Centrebutton--dates-and-timesDates & Times

Simon Nye's TV series, The Durrells, is based loosely on Gerald Durrell's Corfu Trilogy and in particular his much-loved bestseller, My Family and Other Animals

These books in turn are based somewhat loosely on actual events. Now Michael Haag covers the background to the Durrell family's years in Corfu, including their time in India, where all the children were born, and where their father, a brilliant civil engineer, had died. He recalls the real-life characters the Durrells encountered, and tells the story of how the Durrells left Corfu, including Margo's return intent on joining the Greek resistance, and Leslie's romance in England with the family's Corfite maid and friend.
