For watchers of the TV series, the real story - with plenty of photos. Different in some respects from a narrative pepped up for TV, but still a remarkable story. Any set of four siblings which included a famous writer and a famous naturalist and some very different personalities is going to be interesting especially when combined with what happened before and after. The collision of an eccentric family with thirties Corfu is the centrepiece though and makes for an entertaining read.
