The Tower Menagerie by Daniel Hahn
When King Henry III was given three leopards by his brother-in-law, Frederick, the Holy Roman Emperor, he ordered them to be sent to the Tower of London. Over the next 600 years the Tower played host to thousands more exotic animals. Hahn explores the uses and abuses of this remarkable institution.
