Highly engrossing, memorable read. More or less#nonfiction ; far as I can tell it's based on memories of a single person for the event prior to the author meeting the subjects, human and elephant, with some events extrapolated from evidence. Grain of salt aside, it's an awesome story. And despite the cover, doesn't glorify elephants in the circus (though it should not be your sole source on the subject.)#elephant#animals (Copy has dented cover but otherwise good)
