About this listen

When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them.

In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

The Elephant Whisperer (Young Readers Adaptation) is a heartwarming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad account of Anthony's experiences with these huge yet sympathetic creatures. Set against the background of life on an African game reserve, with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, it is a delightful book that will appeal to animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.

My book club read this book a number of years ago and loved it. Very evocative. Then just a month ago I heard a news story about elephants and it reminded me of Lawrence Anthony and his heroic elephant story. I ordered it on Audible and have been captivated as my dog and I walk the neighborhood. Truly a heartwarming, important story about these powerful gentle giants. Thank you for a wonderful presentation!

A story with such heart!
