We Bought A Zoo
'We Bought A Zoo' describes how Benjamin Mee and is family ended up buying and running a zoo in the English countryside. Originally, as a family they were just looking to purchase a large house with a big garden. Amongst the details of properties they were sent was a zoo. They then decided to do something a little bit different and after lengthy and stressful negotiations they purchased the dilapidated Dartmoor Wildlife Park.
The Dartmoor Zoo had been dropping to bits for a number of years and needed a lot of work doing. This involved not just repairs and rebuilding but the hiring of new staff and the implemtation of a number of new projects. The collection was in desperate need of promotion to raise the cash to fufill the plans and aspirations. We Bought A Zoo describes in detail the trials and tribulations of running and managing a zoo.
As it was a family based decision to purchase the story which many people can relate to. There is happiness and sadness too mixed with humour and the unfamilar.
