Synopsis
A Man in the Zoo (1924) is a novel by David Garnett. Published several years after Garnett was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Hawthornden Prize for Lady into Fox (1922), his third novel explores themes of race and empire while showcasing the author's original--and often controversial--literary style. "It was a warm day at the end of February, and Sunday morning. In the air there was a smell of spring, mixed with the odours of different animals--yaks, wolves, and musk-oxen, but the two visitors did not notice it. They were lovers, and were having a quarrel." On a beautiful day at the local zoo, John Cromartie and Josephine Lackett find themselves falling out of love. Among the animals, Josephine explains that she can no longer explain their relationship to her family, who expect her to marry a man of equal social stature. Insulting John, she tells him he should live in the zoo before storming off. Heartbroken, and perhaps a little vindictive, John resolves to remain at the zoo with the animals she thinks he belongs with. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of David Garnett's A Man in the Zoo is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers., A Man in the Zoo (1924) is a novel by David Garnett.

    Excellent seller. Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good. Thank you!!

    The cd was well packed and arrived safely. Unfortunately, the disc I received wasn't the original cd. It had been replaced by a CD-R. I immediately alerted World of Books USA regarding the problem and an officer of the company responded within 24 hours. They have provided a full refund of the purchase. Great customer service and communication. The case was resolved to my satisfaction. Will continue to do business with World of Books USA. Thanks.

    I received my items in great condition. The books were packed really well and survived the shipping process well. The books appeared described by the seller. Excellent service by the seller, who responded quickly to an inquiry that was more of an issue with the current state of USPS. Excellent transaction with the seller overall!
