British naturalist Gerald Durrell wrote three books about his 1935–1940 childhood on Corfu: My Family and Other Animals; Birds, Beasts and Relatives; and The Garden of the Gods. His brother, literary author Lawrence Durrell, also wrote a volume about Corfu: Prospero's Cell: A Guide to the Landscape and Manners of the Island of Corcyra (Corfu).

ITV aired a TV series named The Durrells in Corfu in April 2016 and ultimately lasted four seasons, concluding in May 2019. It was a biographical series detailing Gerald Durrell's childhood on Corfu


I watched the series very well done and such beautiful scenery.
