Chapter Four about the Durrells' home? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corfu

'durrells' home?' is the definition.
(as in Gerald Durrell's memoirs)

'chapter four about' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'c' (abbreviation).
'about' indicates an anagram.
'four' anagrammed gives 'orfu'.
'c'+'orfu'='CORFU'

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for corfu that I've seen before include "Holiday location" , "Island off west of Greece, popular for holidays" , "Gk. island, opposite Albania" , "Greek holiday island" , "Largest of the Ionian Islands" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
