George Adamson is well known as the husband of Joy Adamson of Born Free fame. His own personal life story is even more fascinating than that of his wife. This book gives the reader an insight into his life in Kenya in the early part of the last century and continues with an account of his life as a game warden in Kenya's northern districts, a life full of challenge, hardship and adventure. George certainly lived a full life, right up to his unfortunate demise in August 1989. His love of Kenya's wildlife and of lions in particular is a prominent theme throughout the book. Amongst his adventures you will read how he explored the Lake Turkana region, dabbled in hotel management, dealt with local tribes and coped with married life It makes the reader jealous that such a life is no longer possible and made me wish I was born a hundred years earlier.
