This
comprehensive collection includes
excellent descriptions of these
intelligent and sagacious animals in
the wild, with rare insights into
elephant behavior, anatomy and haunts,
as well as the odd apocryphal story
about them: is there really an
elephant graveyard in Sri Lanka? Does
the elephant have an extraordinary
memory? Did a man-eating elephant
actually exist? The book contains
accounts by leading elephant-men -
from Champion and Sanderson to Samuel
Baker and Symington - all from works
no longer readily available.
