LibraryCin | 11782 comments Benajmin Mee and his wife, Katherine, had just recently (within a few years) bought their “dream” place in France, but just as Katherine was diagnosed with cancer, Benjamin’s sister contacted him with an idea to buy another “dream” place, a run-down zoo in England. The plan/hope was for the entire family to band together to buy the place… and they did. It took a lot of work to get the zoo up to snuff to get a zoo license to be able to reopen the zoo...while also trying to get bank loans before they ran out of money.

This really was more about the business of the zoo and leading up to re-opening it, rather than the zoo or animals themselves once it was open. And that’s ok. It was still very entertaining for me to read. In addition to the business-y stuff, there were plenty of animal stories for my liking, as well.
