Book
Abraham Dee Bartlett knew from a young age that he wanted to spend his life working with animals. But in Victorian London, there weren't many jobs that provided such an opportunity. Despite this, he spent years gaining knowledge and pursuing his dream until he eventually became superintendent at London Zoo. Driven by his compassion for the animals, Abraham dramatically improved the conditions there to ensure that the animals could be happy and healthy. With engaging back matter and charming illustrations, this book brings to life the little-known story of the man who helped to create the modern zoo.
