Book Report: My Family & Other Animals

Do you have a favorite summer book?  My preference is for travel novels set around 1910-1940, with My Family and Other Animals topping the list. 

It’s the charming true story of a British family moving to Greece and living in a villa by sea in the 1930’s, as told by the youngest nature-obsessed son.   The descriptions of exploring sun-drenched gardens and tracking beetles in the rose bushes make it feel so much like summer – even when it’s a classic May 50 degrees and foggy outside in San Francisco.
