She went on to design the Reptile House at the London Zoo, including a home for the rumored-to-be-vicious komodo dragons.

There, just like when she was a little girl, Joan hosted children''s tea parties - with her komodo dragon as the guest of honour.With a lively text and vibrant illustrations, scientist and writer Patricia Valdez and illustrator Felicita Sala bring to life Joan Procter''s inspiring story of passion and determination.''Delectably stylish'' SUNDAY TIMES‘The illustrations by Felicita Sala are full of rich colour and telling details and bring this unusual book to glowing life.’ IRISH INDEPENDENT
