What to Focus On

  • Gerald Durrell was both a writer and a naturalist.
  • He was born in Jamshedpur, India.
  • He founded Jersey Zoo in 1959.

  • The setting is Corfu harbour and the streets outside it.
  • The family arrives by sea from England.
  • Corfu is the place where the family begins a new life.

  • The family has Mother and four children: Larry, Leslie, Margo, and Gerald.
  • Gerald is the narrator and the youngest member.
  • Larry is literary and imperious.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The title 'The Migration' means only a normal family journey from one place to another.

Roger is only a background pet and not important to the chapter.

Mother is weak because she does nothing important in the scene.

Memory Tips

Family members in the Durrell family

Larry as eldest brother, literary and imperious

Leslie as short, stocky, quietly belligerent

Margo as dreamy and appearance-conscious
