Read by Gildart Jackson.
A former British newspaper columnist describes how he uprooted his family to the English countryside and purchased a dilapidated zoo, home to more than two hundred exotic animals, which he planned to refurbish and reopen as a family business, a scheme complicated by a lack of money, skeptical staff, family tension, and his wife's devastating illness.

Don't listen to this with the kids in the car submitted by Dexsunfire79 on April 27, 2015, 10:17am Overall a good story, a bit lagging at times. Heartwarming and interesting. Disappointing how much swearing there was and at first I hated the narrator's voice but got used to it after the first CD. I laughed, I cried and I can't wait to watch the movie.
