My Family and Other Animals. Week 3

Written by Gerald Durrell
Genre: Funny Autobiography
Pages: 386

Also a lot of you know I am reading"My Family and Other Animals". Unless you didn't read my earlier posts. This time I'm going to take you deeper into the story.

Last time I had talked about Gerry/Gerald having to be schooled. This I am going to talk about how many things his mother has to deal with.
Larry gerry's brother is a writer, so without thinking he invites about 8 people to his house on the island. It didn't even cross his mind that he has a very small cottage just enough to fit his family. One morning he told his mother, without paying any attention to him she said "That would be nice". A week before the guests arrived mother started to hear the friends of larry's would be coming. She frantically tried to find Larry and when she finally did she was so frustrated how he couldn't think of how small the house. Larry the smart a lek came to a very easy conclusion" well thats no problem mother lets just move to a bigger house". They had some more talking and then amazingly mother agreed and they moved to a mansion on a hill top. The mansion was very old looking. 4 days till the guests arrived they finally had cleaned the house up. On sunday morning the guests arrived. Lets just say that mother wasn't very happy that they were either sick or had allergies. Mother was in a hell hold!!!
