Gerald Durrell’s Corfu Trilogy is one of those rare series that readers pass down through generations, part family memoir, part naturalist’s notebook, all sunshine. Featured here is the third volume, The Garden of the Gods, a compact six hour listen narrated by Christopher Timothy. If you have ever wanted to escape to a Greek island without leaving your kitchen, this is the series that does it best.

Why listen to The Corfu Trilogy?
Christopher Timothy is a natural fit for Durrell. His voice carries exactly the mixture of amusement and fondness this material asks for, and he gives the animals, the family and the island each their own weather. Six hours and sixteen minutes pass very easily in his company.Although The Garden of the Gods is the trilogy’s third act, the episodic memoir style is forgiving: you can drop in here and still be enchanted, though completists will want to begin at the start of the trilogy.Choose it for garden afternoons, gentle evenings and anyone who misses the sun. It is comfort listening with a first-class pedigree.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 4.0/5
I must be straightforward about the numbers here: The Garden of the Gods shows a 4.6 rating from a single listener, which tells us almost nothing statistically. So my verdict leans on my own ears instead. Durrell’s writing has survived every fashion since it appeared, and Christopher Timothy reads it with the unhurried warmth it deserves. I found the six hours restorative in a way few contemporary releases manage. Treat the lonely rating as an invitation rather than a warning, and add your own.
