Love, Life, and ElephantsRead about another book on the list.
by Dame Daphne Sheldrick
The first person ever to hand-rear an elephant successfully, Dame Daphne Sheldrick perfected a milk formula and husbandry approach that have since saved countless orphaned animals. This big-hearted memoir captures her special relationships -- with Kenya's wildlife; her husband, David, a pioneer of African environmental preservation; and with an elephant named Eleanor who became her trusted friend for more than forty years. A majestic tribute to a country and its residents of all shapes and sizes.
