A poignant narrative about one man's effort to save a herd of elephants—with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, The Elephant Whisperer is a captivating book that will move animal lovers and adventurers everywhere.

When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of 'dangerous' elephants at his game reserve in Zululand, logic dictated that he refuse. However, it was the herd's last chance for survival—dangerous and unpredictable, they would be executed if Anthony did not take them under his protection.

As Anthony risked his life to create a bond with the troubled elephants and persuade them to stay at his reserve, he realized how unique a family they were, from the wise matriarch Nana who guided the herd, to the warrior sister Frankie, always ready to face any threat, and their children who fought hard to survive.
