Hi.
Question: Edit the following text in terms of capitalization, punctuation marks, and italics.
In My family and other animals,Gerald Durrell, a world renowned zoologist gives a laugh packed account of two years he and his family spent on the Greek island of Corfu. In a series of vividly-written sketches, he brings each family member to life so that the reader comes to know Larry Margo Leslie Mother and young Gerry as individuals with lifelike traits and interest. Throughout three hundred pages, the reader meets a number of the Greek islanders, including Spiro a pro-British taxi driver who befriends the family in never to be forgotten ways, and the Rose-beetle Man, who sells a number of hard to resist items such as small tortoises and rose beetles.

Top answer
No period after 'two years', that sentence should continue until Corfu, as it did originally. The title of the work should be italicized, while the animals you did italicize don't need to be. Hard-to-resist, world-renowned, and three-hundred should have dashes.
- No period after 'two years', that sentence should continue until Corfu, as it did originally.
