dannip23 's review for:

The Elephant Keeper by Christopher Nicholson
4.0

A very interesting perspective of a young boy who unexpectedly becomes an elephant keeper in late 1700s England. This reminded me of Black Beauty (which to be fair I haven't read or watched in a long time) in how you are seeing the life of an animal through its owners and caretakers, both the good and the bad. Also just a beautiful animal story!

The only thing I didn't like was the main character's attitude towards sex and women was very... of its time (aka he treated women terribly).
