Love, Life, and Elephants - An African Love Story (Paperback)

"Astonishing...You may be tempted after the last page to sell all your possessions and join Sheldrick's] cause."--"The Boston Globe
"
The first person to successfully raise newborn elephants, Dame Daphne Sheldrick has saved countless African animals from certain death. In this indelible and deeply heartfelt memoir, Daphne tells of her remarkable career as a conservationist and introduces us to a whole host of orphans--including Bushy, a liquid-eyed antelope, and the majestic elephant Eleanor. Yet she also shares the incredible human story of her relationship with David Sheldrick, the famous Tsavo National Park warden whose death inspired the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the orphans' nursery, where Daphne works to this day. From her tireless campaign to preserve Kenya's wildlife to the astonishing creatures she befriended along the way, "Love, Life, and Elephants" is alive with compassion and humor, providing rare insight into the life of one of the world's most fascinating women.
