A lively and fascinating biography of Frank Buckland, "the forgotten man of Victorian science", surgeon, natural historian, bestselling writer and early conservationist  an eccentric giant of his time

Frank Buckland was an extraordinary man  surgeon, naturalist, veterinarian, popular lecturer, bestselling writer, museum curator, and a conservationist before the concept even existed.

Eccentric, revolutionary, prolific, he was one of the nineteenth centurys most improbable geniuses. His life-long passion was to discover new ways to feed the hungry. Rhinoceros, crocodile, puppy-dog, giraffe, kangaroo, bear and panther all had their chance to impress, but what finally  and, eventually, fatally  obsessed him was fish. He can justly be regarded as the godfather of fish-farming and the progenitor of marine research and fishery protection. Forgotten now, he was one of the most original, far-sighted and influential natural scientists of his time, held as high in public esteem as his great philosophical enemy, Charles Darwin.

The Man Who Ate the Zoo is both a rollicking yarn  engaging, funny and provocative  and a celebration of the great age of natural science, one mans genius and what, even now, can be learned from him.
