best book ever about Corfu! I can not tell how many times I have read it! Greetings from Greece. what kind of classes are you doing? I am sorry, i do not speak Spanish (?).Anne D.
ResponderEliminarHi Anna! It's great to have comments from Greece! I am a teacher at a Teacher's Training College in Rafaela, Argentina and this is a blog created for my third course Language students. It's ok if you don't speak Spanish. We are practising our English through the blog activities. We read two short stories that belong to the My Family and Other Animals (Conversations I and II) but we also watched the movie. Definitely GRRRRREAT! I've read the book though. In fact, I love Durrell's writings. My students enjoyed the stories too.
