It’s not exactly like running away to join the circus, but just about. BENJAMIN MEE, former journalist, father, son and now Zoo Director recounts the poignant, funny, charming, scary transistion from being a guy with a regular family to a gentleman with an very, very extended family. Namely the existent animal family in the Dartmoor Wildlife Park. Jaguar, wolf, lian, jacamundi, newts and more menagerie became his personal charge when he and his family did just what the book says, they bought a zoo. WE BOUGHT A ZOO comes out in Canada (Doubleday Canada) and the United States (Weinstein) in September 2008.
