We bought a Zoo

Information

Finished the book of Benjamin Mee "We bought a Zoo"; Interesting memoirs of a journalist and his family buying the Zoo in Dartmoor. A family with absolutely no experience with zoo management whatsoever, and nevertheless they seem to pull it off; putting this run-down zoo on the map again; It never becomes clear why they decided to buy this zoo in the first place, unless the urge to do something extraordinary and worthwhile is the right motivation. A good read.
