Imagine living back in England, 1648 in the midst of a civil war between the King and Parliament and how dangerous being a poor woman raising two children would be.

The three primatologists described by Ottaviani and drawn by Maris Wicks come across as semi-superheroes, enduring human isolation and illness (“GROAN,” “HORK!”) to achieve amazing feats of patience and discovery.
