Description
More gripping and poignant tales of extraordinary elephants and the woman who saved them: the bestselling follow-up memoir to ‘An Elephant in My Kitchen’ by Parisienne-turned-South African game reserve-owner Françoise Malby-Anthony. Founded with her late husband Lawrence in 1998, the Thula Thula rescue centre is home to a beloved herd of elephants, headed by the unforgettable elephant matriarch, Frankie. Full of animal characters, including Thabo the lovelorn rhino; Baby Jo the hippo; June the baby giraffe; Daisy the meerkat; Savannah the cheetah; and more. Capturing the highs and lows of caring for the reserve’s residents, Françoise is then faced with even greater and heart-rending troubles when Frankie becomes ill and receives an ultimatum from the authorities of either expanding the reserve or seeing some of the herd culled. Battling the pandemic, poachers and a threat from a mining company, Françoise must draw on resilience and wisdom to save her herd. Compelling and moving, follow the next chapter in the Thula Thula story.

I have Lawrence Anthony's three books and his wife, Francoise previous book "An Elephant in my Kitchen". This book on the Thula Thula Elephants is like an old friend keeping us up to date with what is happening on that beautiful Reserve and the preservation of Lawrence's beautiful Legacy. Magic, pure magic.
