Behind The Scenes With Wild Animals
Collectible book
$180.00
This is an unusual, wonderful account of the training and keeping of wild animals from the last century, by an author who interviewed trainers and directors of zoos and had observed circuses and traveling animals shows. Ellen Velvin is also the author of a number of books about animals for both children and adults. Theodore Roosevelt was an admirer of her work and the book was dedicated to him. The black and white photos of animals trainers and performers are a reflective yet amusing record of the enduring endeavors of humans to live/perform with animals who are one or more of the three: wild, silly or beyond wild.
