African Love Story, Paperback

Daphne Sheldrick is a leading African conservationist, and the last of the Joy Adamson/Diane Fossey generation. This memoir describes her extraordinary life: her love affair with Kenya and with her husband David who founded the Tsavo National Park, and her pioneering work with elephants. Her autobiography includes a treasure trove of photographs, and draws on her diaries which she has kept for 30 years. It is sure to be a bestseller in this paperback edition. 'Africa has never been more vividly described... I read it straight through and it nearly broke my heart... her warnings about the decline of wildlife should be heeded the world over' Joanna Lumley
