The Picnic and Suchlike Pandemonium
เกี่ยวกับหนังสือเสียงเล่มนี้
If you loved My Family and Other Animals and can’t get enough of the Durrells after the Corfu series, The Picnic and Suchlike Pandemonium is the book for you.
It constitutes a series of anecdotal snippets and short stories including ‘The Picnic’, a laugh-out-loud account of an ill-fated Durrell family excursion, which should have been a relaxing, jolly affair. But with the Durrells things are seldom straightforward and on this occasion all that could go wrong did go wrong – except Gerald Durrell's sense of humour in recounting the tale. Other hilarious and surreal Roald Dahlesque stories ensue, including the critically acclaimed Gothic horror story ‘The Entrance’.
