Description
Françoise Malby-Anthony's life's work is a profound and compelling story of her dedication to the protection of elephants. In 1998, she founded a game reserve with her late husband, and their lives were forever changed by the arrival of a remarkable family of elephants. The herd's feisty matriarch Frankie became a symbol of their love and commitment to conservation. As the years passed, Françoise faced numerous challenges, including the threat of culling some of the herd and the impact of the pandemic on her reserve. However, she also experienced moments of joy and triumph, such as the arrival of a long-lost cheetah and the rescue of meerkats kept as pets. Through it all, Françoise came to realize that the elephants had much to teach her about wisdom, resilience, and the power of communal bonds. This book is a charming and moving account of Françoise's life's work, offering a unique glimpse into the world of conservation and the human-animal bond.
