Elsa And Her Cubs
by Joy AdamsonFrom the Book Jacket: In 1956, George Adamson, Senior Game Warden of the Northern Frontier District in Africa, killed a lioness, who had charged him, and brought home to his wife, Joy, three little lionesses only a few days old. Two of the cubs were sent to a zoo in Holland. The third, Elsa, remained with the Adamsons as an affectionate member of the household. In time Elsa had cubs of her own in the bush and brought them to meet the Adamsons. Because of the many photographs the Adamsons have taken of Elsa and her cubs, Mrs. Adamson has made another book so that others may share and enjoy them. She tells here the story of Elsa's cubs from the first time Elsa brought them to camp until they were taken to the Serengeti National Game Park when they were fifteen months old.
