The Elephant Whisperer
by Lawrence Anthony
A beautiful story, beautifully told. Just imagine someone asking you if you'd like to take in a herd of elephants, as they were household pets!
Some of the moments are very powerful, like the matriarch introducing her new born to a human she didn't trust just a few months ago...the ultimate symbol of trust. We are taken into the working of a herd of elephants and their process of thought as much as we can understand of it. The side stories of the people and other animals in the reserve are just as remarkable and often entertaining. Life in the wild is fraught with danger and hardships, but it also has its magical moments.
It made me want to go back for an African safari.
