Subtitled A Guide to the Landscape and Manners of the Island of Corfu, this classic tribute to the island is drawn from the young Durrell's Idyllic time on Corfu as a gregarious newlywed in the 1930s -- an interlude that came to an abrupt end in 1941 with the German invasion of Greece and Durrell's evacuation to Alexandria. The first of his celebrated travel books, Propsero's Cell was written during his time in Egypt. Durrell and his fish Nancy (referred to as N in the book) setled in an old fisherman's house in Kalmai, in the extreme north of Corfu.  (GRE48, $12.00)
