A book recommended by world-renowned primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall:

“I have read Miroslav’s previous book, Vultures in the Hotel Continental, which I thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to reading the next one. I am quite sure you, the reader, will enjoy Red-haired Librarian as well.” Extraordinary animals, extraordinary people, an extraordinary place… that is Prague Zoo. Take a look behind the scenes of one of the best world zoos through the notes of the Director Miroslav Bobek. You will learn many interesting things from its presence and history, you will view the Zoo’s premises in Troja as well as travel to see gorillas in Africa and more rare animals in other parts of the world. You will be introduced to conservation projects, organized or supported by Prague Zoo, and you will discover the mystery of the peculiar creature that should have become extinct millions of years ago. The gripping stories are accompanied by unique photographs.
