En 'Bichos y demás parientes', Gerald Durrell continúa la crónica de su estancia en la isla de Corfú, Grecia, ofreciendo una mirada encantadora y humorística a la vida familiar y la fauna local. Este libro, que forma parte de la trilogía de Corfú, relata las experiencias del autor con escarabajos laboriosos, condesas locuaces, cabezas parlantes y una muestra de la enigmática fauna marina. Durrell explica en el prólogo cómo este libro nació a pesar de la oposición de algunos personajes que no deseaban ser retratados nuevamente.
Gerald Malcolm Durrell was a British naturalist, writer, zookeeper, conservationist, and television presenter. He was born in Jamshedpur in British India, and moved to England when his father died in 1928. In 1935 the family moved to Corfu, and stayed there for four years, before the outbreak of World War II forced them to return to the UK. In 1946 he received an inheritance from his father's will that he used to fund animal-collecting trips to the British Cameroons and British Guiana. He married Jacquie Rasen in 1951; they had very little money, and she persuaded him to write an account of his first trip to the Cameroons. The result, titled The Overloaded Ark, sold well, and he began writing accounts of his other trips. An expedition to Argentina and Paraguay followed in 1953, and three years later he published My Family and Other Animals, which became a bestseller.
