Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds - Joy Adamson

Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds

Joy Adamson's story of a lion cub, Elsa, in transition between the captivity in which she is raised and the fearsome wild to which she is returned captures the abilities of both humans and animals to cross the seemingly unbridgeable gap between their radically different worlds.

Especially now, at a time when the sanctity of the wild and its inhabitants is increasingly threatened by human development and natural disaster, Adamson's remarkable tale is an idyll, and a model, to return to again and again.

Illustrated with the same beautiful, evocative photographs.
