Born Free

Product Information

I know that I read this as a child, and of course, I have seen the movie many times, but it is as amazing a story now as it was back in the 1950s and 1960s when it was happening. Since the first publication of Born Free and its sequels Living Free and Forever Free, generations of readers have been enchanted, inspired and moved by these books' uplifting charm and the remarkable interaction between Joy and Elsa.

Born Free is the true-life story of an orphaned lion cub, Elsa, who was raised by Joy and her game-warden husband in Kenya.With her husband George, senior game warden in a huge area of the northern frontier province of Kenya, she established one of the world’s first wild animal appeals. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics. Covers are green/white/yellow, lettering white/black/brown, two black/white photos front - Virginia McKenna and lions. These are quick unreflective works rushed into print, having got past the sweetness of animal behaviour I am unsettled, the phrase 'wild animal' is not an accidental one. This book records the extraordinary relationship with a Kenya lioness established by the author over a period of four years, and still existing.

You can almost feel the love that Joy and Elsa shared, and Elsa’s personality comes through very clearly.

We try to squeeze in some time for prayer and reading the Bible, but are far more focused on being productive in a world governed by performance metrics.Although I know it's easier to do with an animal than a real human friend, letting go is a difficult thing to do. Illustrated with the same beautiful, evocative photographs that first enchanted the world forty years ago and updated with a new introduction by George Page, former host and executive editor of the PBS series Nature and author of Inside the Animal Mind, this anniversary edition introduces to a new generation one of the most heartwarming associations between man and animal. Later in the book, the author is surprised to find out that the cubs were responsible for raiding domestic goat enclosures during the night - I wasn't!

While raising Elsa as a pet, they rarely kept her penned up or chained and gave her a lot of freedom to still act like a lion. Released in 1960 by Pantheon Books, it describes Adamson's experiences raising a lion cub named Elsa.George Adamson was murdered nine years later in 1989, near his camp in Kora National Park, while rushing to the aid of a tourist who was being attacked by poachers. She helps us to find that elusive balance of living wisely with God at the centre while managing demands of family, work and relationships. Perhaps we just become more emotionally fragile as time goes on, and look at least some of the time for less disturbing reads. While television specials kept the Adamsons' cause in the spotlight, Adamson spent her last 10 years travelling the world, giving speeches about the perils faced by wildlife in Africa.
