Description
Among all the gravestone of Abney Park a marble lion with his eyes closed sleeps in the shade of tall trees and almost seems to protect the resting place of the Animal King Frank Bostock and his family. The famous menagerist who died in 1912 had toured all over Europe and America with his performing wild animals not without risking to have his arms ripped off by his beasts in more than one occasion.
