A collection of short stories from Gerald Durrell, one of Britain's best loved authors and pioneering naturalists, and author of My Family and Other Animals.**Life with the Durrells is seldom straightforward. Dive headfirst into family adventures with this collection of laugh-out-loud short stories from the much-loved author of My Family and Other Animals.**Notable tales include 'The Picnic', a hilarious account of an ill-fated Durrell excursion which should have been a relaxing, jolly affair, and ‘The Entrance’, the critically acclaimed Gothic horror story. Packed full of surreal Roald Dahlesque tales and anecdotal snippets recounted with Gerald Durrell's trademark sense of humour, The Picnic and Suchlike Pandemonium is a witty, genre-crossing read. If you can’t get enough of the Durrells, this is the book for you.
