Shoebox Zoo



The Shoebox Zoo are the title heroes of the BBC Scotland fantasy drama series of the same name. They are four members Edwin an eagle, Ailsa a snake, Bruno a bear and Wolfgang a wolf. They used to be human but 1100 years before the start of the series they stole the Book of Forbidden Knowledge, a lexicon filled with dark magic and secrets from Wolfgang's father a wizard named Michael Scott who turned them into toy animals as punishment.

In the present day they come into the ownership of an eleven year old girl named Marnie McBride who aids them to find the book and help them become human again.
