About this listen

In an era when the performance of animals is often met with disapproval, we take a fascinating journey back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when traveling menageries captivated audiences across England. The renowned Bostock family traveled the countryside, showcasing a dazzling array of wild animals, many of which were unfamiliar to the local townsfolk. This engaging volume delves into the art of training and caring for these extraordinary creatures, revealing the intricate balance between entertainment and nature. Join us as we explore a time when the performance of animals was a celebrated spectacle. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
