Life At The Zoo: Notes And Traditions Of The Regent�������s Park Gardens is a book written by Charles John Cornish, first published in 1896. The book provides an in-depth look at the history and daily operations of the Regent's Park Zoo, which was one of the most popular attractions in London during the late 19th century. The author shares his personal experiences and observations of the animals and their behavior, as well as the traditions and customs of the zookeepers and staff. The book is filled with fascinating anecdotes and stories about the various animals, including elephants, lions, monkeys, and birds, and their interactions with each other and the humans who cared for them.
