Little Gerry became a respected naturalist and writer. He went on dozens of expeditions all over the world, founded a zoo on the island of Jersey and worked for years to preserve rare animal species in danger of extinction.
His brother Larry, who became the influential author Lawrence Durrell, lived in Corfu and other Greek islands after World War II and wrote about them in his many novels and travelogues.
