When a world war comes to Myanmar (Burma), one special elephant
becomes a hero. As people are forced to leave their home in the
Burmese jungle, Bandoola, his keeper Po Toke and war veteran James
Howard Williams (Aka Elephant Bill), undertake a journey that will
test their courage, taking trust, understanding and bravery to the
very limit. Together, they lead a group of 53 elephants and over
200 refugees to safety, scaling 6000ft mountains as they trek from
Myanmar to northern India. In this moving tale based on a true
story, award-winning William Grill's stunning illustrations show
the majesty of Myanmar's forests and mountains, the backdrop to a
heart-warming tale about empathy between humans and animals, and
the strength that can arise from working together when the world is
full of danger.
"The Wolves of Currumpaw "is a beautifully illustrated modern
re-telling of Ernest Thompson Seton's epic wilderness drama "Lobo,
the King of Currumpaw," originally published in 1898. Set in the
dying days of the old west, Seton's drama unfolds in the vast
planes of New Mexico, at a time when man's relationship with nature
was often marked by exploitations and misunderstanding. This is the
first graphic adaptation of a massively influential piece of
writing by one of the men who went on to form the Boy Scouts of
America.A University of Falmouth graduate and London resident,
William Grill's first book "Shackleton's Journey "made him the
youngest Kate Greenaway Medal winner since 1960. With a slew of
prizes and under his belt, Grill looks primed to make a huge impact
with "The Wolves of Currumpaw."
