Description:
“There have been many tales of animals’ return to the wild, but since its first publication in 1960, when the New York Times hailed it as a ‘fascinating and remarkable book,’ one stands alone as the most original and perhaps best-loved animal story. Born Free is a classic which traces the extraordinary development of the lion cub Elsa in transition between two radically different worlds.”—from the back cover
My thoughts:
I remember I saw the movie years ago, but I had never read the full story of Elsa and her human family Joy and George Adamson until now. I liked reading about Elsa’s curiosity and how even as she gradually left the Adamson’s care, she never lost the bond she had with them.
