I loved this book and read it leading up to a visit to Nairobi and the David Sheldrick orphanage. Daphne Sheldrick had an incredible life and the work she and her family accomplished is pretty incredible. I thought the recounting of how they lived their lives and the many wild animals that they raised fascinating. The storytelling is a bit jumpy at times but this just seems like an authentic portrayal of their lives. Seeing the work being done in the elephant orphanage really brought to light how important elephant conservation really is. They continue to fight an uphill battle for these wonderful animals and for that, I am truly grateful. The pictures included in the book were also lovely. A great read! ( ) Author gushed entirely too much, flatters herself and takes credit which should be attributable to others. Her life was very interesting but she could have written less about how wonderful she is, how much she adored her perfect husband and come out with a super book. I found her entirely too irritating beyond belief. And while she emphasizes elephants, they played a much smaller part than represented on the cover and title. What a wonderful book! What a wonderful life among the orphaned eles, rhinos, mischievous zebras, etc. I read this book in two days. Would've only taken one day but I had to get some sleep and go to work. One of the best books I've ever read, especially when she starts telling the stories of the various animals and even Gregory Peck, a very funny bird. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
