  National Bestseller: The complete trilogy that inspired Masterpiece production The Durrells in Corfu in one volume. The tales of a naturalist and his family, who left England for the Greek island of Corfu—where they interacted with fascinating locals of both human and animal varieties—these memoirs have become beloved bestsellers and inspired the delightful series that aired on PBS television.   Included in this three-book collection are:  My Family and Other Animals: Ten-year-old Gerald Durrell arrives on sun-drenched Corfu with this family and pursues his interest in natural history, making friends with the island’s fauna—from toads and tortoises to scorpions and geckos—while reveling in the joyous chaos of growing up in an unconventional household.  Birds, Beasts and Relatives: Written after a boyhood spent studying zoology, this memoir is part nature guide, part coming-of-age tale, and all charmingly funny memoir.  The Garden of the Gods: In the conclusion of the trilogy, Durrell shares more tales of wild animals and his even wilder family, including his mother, Louisa, and his siblings Lawrence, Leslie, and Margo, in the years before World War II.   “[Durrell’s] books have an unfailing charm. . . . It is a tribute to his skill that one never tires of his accounts” (Chicago Tribune).  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gerald Durrell including rare photos from the author’s estate.

  Gardening doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or intimidating. In fact, it can be incredibly simple, even for those with the busiest schedules or the most modest of spaces. That’s where succulents and cacti come in—nature’s low-maintenance marvels. These resilient, often strikingly beautiful plants are not only easy to care for but also bring a sense of calm, creativity, and life to any environment. 
  Succulents and cacti have gained popularity worldwide, and for good reason. With their ability to thrive on minimal water and withstand periods of neglect, they’re ideal for both beginner gardeners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. Their incredible variety—ranging from the soft pastels of echeveria to the spiky grandeur of barrel cacti—makes them perfect for anyone looking to add visual interest and personality to their home or outdoor garden. 
  This book is designed as your practical guide to growing and enjoying succulents and cacti without stress or guesswork. Whether you’re hoping to liven up a sunny windowsill, design a water-wise outdoor landscape, or create a stunning tabletop arrangement, you’ll find the advice and inspiration you need within these pages. We’ll cover everything from choosing the right plants and preparing the perfect soil mix to watering properly, managing pests, and even propagating your favorites to expand your collection. 
  What makes succulents and cacti especially appealing is their adaptability. They flourish in tiny apartments and sprawling gardens alike, can be planted in traditional pots or repurposed containers, and require far less maintenance than most other plant types. For those with busy lifestyles, frequent travel schedules, or even a history of “black thumbs,” these plants offer the perfect entry point into the world of gardening.
