A BOOK OF THE ZOO 



By ERIC PARKER 



The author has tried in this book to make a round of the Zoological Gardens, and to 

 show the animals to a visitor as they appear to one who has spent many hours watching 

 their individual characters and habits in captivity. A special study is made of the 

 behaviour of the animals by night and at dawn, the author having been allowed to visit 

 the Gardens by night for this purpose. Throughout the book the impression is of humour 

 and humanity rather than of scientific detail ; there are chapters on Children at the Zoo, 

 Bank Holiday, the Zoo in the Nursery, and so on, and the book is illustrated with really 

 beautiful studies of animals from photographs by Mr. Henry Irving.
