Overview

Over 13 days Joey the monkey made a bid for freedom from his cage in a private Camberwell garden. His literal monkey business made him something of a local celebrity, and newsreel stories such as this one helped spread his fame. Though he was lured back to captivity by a local rat-catcher, his two further escape bids the following year show how poor a choice a monkey is for a pet.
