5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compulsive reading, 8 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This is one of the best written stories of two wonderful Ladies who, at a time when it was not easy for women to do such things, managed to set up and run the best zoo for apes in the world.It is quite unbelievable that they are still going strong even though they are in their 80's. They are a most remarkable couple, and the book was so well written that I couldn't put it down once I had started reading it.Compulsive reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written,fascinating,a real pleasure to read, 17 Nov 2000

By	d_badham@yahoo.co.uk (Wolverhampton, england) - See all my reviews

This book is the story of how 2 women taught the zoo world how to look after animals welfare. They learned to love all their animals and gave them the best possible life in captivity. With their breeding programmes they have saved many endangered species for future generations. A love story with a difference.
