The elephants of Amboseli park in southern Kenya have been the subject of a unique study for many years. This book, which covers a period of 18 months, is written in the form of a journal which documents the saga of a particular family of elephants whose lives have become central to that of their observer, Cynthia Moss. Far from taking the formal and conventional approach of scientist or researcher, Cynthia adopts a more personal view, so that with her we enter the fascinating and often dramatic events surrounding these most remarkable and complex of animals.
