Joy Adamson's touching and remarkable TRUE story of a lion cub in transition between the captivity in which she is raised and the 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. It clearly shows that even wild animals are individuals capable of great trust, understanding and affection. Many photos.  This true account of Elsa's life and the Adamson's determination to return her to the wild with her own kind stands the test of time as a great story, wonderfully written.
