My Marwellous Life
In Zoos and Conservation. A passion for wildlife and conservation led John Knowles OBE to found his own latter-day Ark - the Marwell Zoological Park. His autobiography tells the fascinating story of how a childhood collector of stick insects became a successful farmer and poultry breeder, then went on to achieve his ambition to found his very own zoo. John Knowles left school at 16 to work on a farm, he then went to agricultural college and bought his own farm. He bought the 414-acre Marwell Hall estate and in 1972 opened Marwell Zoological Park.
