Story summary of Achilles by Gerald Malcom Durrell

Answer 1

Summary of Achilles by Gerald Malcom Durrell:-

• The young man, who went on to become a well-known biologist, resides on a Greek island in a home with a garden. His family doesn't particularly enjoy the variety of creatures he brings into the house.
• Jerry Darrell, a ten-year-old, is the one narrating the story.
• The four members of the Darrell family—writer Larry, who is 23 years old, hunter Leslie, 19, animal-lover Jerry, 10, and Mrs. Darrell's widow—move from England to the Greek island of Corfu. Darrells, who are ill due to the climate in foggy Albion, are hoping to get better on a sunny island thanks to Larry.
• The Darrells are welcomed in Corfu by the well-liked and respected driver Spiro, who quickly becomes a close friend of the family. Spiro assists the Darrells in resolving issues with customs and the bank while also helping them rent a little strawberry-pink home with a garden and a bathtub.
• The Darrells are acclimating to their new surroundings gradually. Margot flirts with the local guys, Leslie hunts, Larry writes books, Jerry and his dog Roger explore the island's natural beauty, and Mrs. Darrell looks after the domestic duties.
• For Jerry, the garden takes on the qualities of a true enchanted land. The child spends days observing various insects while listening to cicadas chirp in the nearby trees. Jerry happens upon an earwig nest one day.
• He guards him while keeping watch over him. But the boy is unlucky since the cubs only show up at night. Each morning, Jerry embarks on an island exploration trip with Roger. The youngster is well-liked by the locals, who refer to him as the "little lord," invite him to visit, and shower them with gifts.
• The teacher claims to have imparted all of his knowledge to Jerry to Mrs. Durrell. Jerry wants to continue being semi-educated, but the Darrells decide to send him back to school in England. They are escorted by the tutor, Theodore, and a sobbing Spiro. One of the border guards notes in the questionnaire: "A touring circus with a staff of personnel" in response to seeing multiple cages filled with animals.

Hence, this is the summary of Achilles by Gerald Malcom Durrell.
