Opis

In the tiny aristocratic figure of Parbati Barua, known as queen of the elephants, Mark Shand finds his ultimate guru. He had already learned about the ways of elephants after riding his beloved Tara across India, a journey which he described in Travels on My Elephant, for which he won the 1992 Travel Writer of the Year Award. But he is no match for the daughter of India's greatest expert on the Asian elephant, the late Prince of Gauripur, who taught her everything. She lassoed her first wild elephant before she was 20.
