Gerald Durrell

When I was young enough for bedtime stories my parents read a lot of the usual children's books, but dad also read me some of Gerald Durrell's books: My Family and Other Animals, and Birds, Beasts and Relatives.  He did edit out a few bits, as I discovered later on, including where the young Jerry sees a neighboring woman give birth.  Over the years I went through all of dad's collection of Gerald Durrell's books, but for some reason have yet to read any of Gerald's older brother's books (Lawrence Durrell).
