This is Ken Jones own story of how, from the rescue of one injured and beached new born baby seal, he built the now world-famous National Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, Cornwall. The beginnings of a small pool and a shed in the garden have now grown to encompass many pools, a hospital and other animals, notably, otters, sea lions, donkeys, goats and horses. There are many photographs in the book which adds to the enjoyment of reading the stories of the rescued animals.

I have been to Gweek and enjoyed seeing the seals, especially the babies with their creamy white fur and huge, liquid black eyes and hope that I will be able to go again one day, more knowledgeable this time.
