| Summary | "The Training of Wild Animals" by Frank Charles Bostock is a fascinating account detailing the art of training wild animals, likely written in the early 20th century. This non-fiction work combines memoir and practical guide, as it reflects on Bostock's personal experiences in the world of animal training, focusing on the interactions between trainers and various wild species. Through its pages, readers can expect an insightful exploration of the methodologies and philosophies behind animal training, as well as considerations of ethical treatment. At the start of the book, Bostock recounts his early experiences that led him to embrace the training profession, despite initially pursuing a more conventional path as a clergyman. The opening chapter vividly describes a moment of drama and danger when a lion escapes into the sewers of Birmingham, offering a glimpse into the unpredictability of working with wild animals. Bostock's narrative emphasizes his compassionate approach to training, contrasting it with the cruelty he observed in others, setting the stage for a deeper discussion on the principles and responsibilities entailed in working with such magnificent creatures.
