“The White House” is owned today by Tassos Athenaios, whose grandfather originally rented the cottage to the Durrells. The Durrell family lived in several different homes on the island, the most famous of these being “The White House”, home of Lawrence and Nancy Durrell. These experiences inspired his life’s work to rescue animals from the brink of extinction. Gerald recorded his experiences on Corfu in a trilogy which includes the much loved “My Family and Other Animals”. Sadly the outbreak of war resulted in the family returning to England. Gerald was fascinated by the wildlife he discovered on the island and spent an idyllic childhood studying them. At the age of 11, he moved to Corfu with his widowed mother Louisa and his three older siblings, Lawrence, Leslie and Margaret. Gerald Durrell OBE, was a naturalist and author. The series is called “The Durrells” and is based on the memoirs of Gerald Durrell who lived on the island from 1935-1939. Filming of a new six part period drama has just begun on Corfu.
