En 'Nel Paese di Mitologia', Peter, Simon y Penelope, durante sus vacaciones en Grecia, se encuentran en la playa con un extraño paquete 'parlante' que los invita a seguirlo al País de la Mitología, donde se les necesita urgentemente. Pronto, los tres primos se encontrarán en medio de una guerra entre las extrañas criaturas que habitan la mágica tierra creada por el distraído y omnipotente Mago H.H.: Grifos, Unicornios, Basiliscos guerreros, plácidas Lumucche, locomotoras con acento francés, Sapos sgrammaticati... Después de innumerables, impredecibles y maravillosas hazañas, todo terminará bien; ¡pero qué pena tener que volver a casa! El gran naturalista Gerald Durrell se aventura por los temerarios senderos de la fantasía, reinventando a los personajes más famosos del mito.

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.
