In 1871 seventeen-year-old Philip Garland inherits his father’s business of buying, selling and training wild animals, monkeys above all. A voyage with his animals ends in revenge, a terrible night and a wreck, and Philip finds himself ashore on an island ruled by apes, among leeches, disagreeable neighbours and strange disappearances.
