About this item
The thoroughly moving books in the Born Free series tell the stories of wild animals around the world that have been saved from a lifetime of cruelty and suffering.The Born Free Foundations mission is to protect many different species in their natural habitats, working with local communities to make sure that people and wildlife can live together peacefully. In Elephant Rescue, children will meet Nina and Pinky, two elephants that survived terrible misfortunes and were trapped in captivityuntil the Born Free Foundation stepped in to save them. Parents will be intrigued by these books as they recall Born Free, the movie that inspired a generation. In it, they learned the story of Elsa, an orphaned lion cub that was brought up by Joy and George Adamson (portrayed by Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna in the movie and the founders of the Born Free Foundation) and released back into the wild.
About the Author
Thanks for looking me up. I write uplifting contemporary fiction that combines romance, mystery, emotion, humour, a sense of the past and a touch of magic. My books are strongly influenced by my love of art and design, and my work writing/researching for the Victoria & Albert Museum. You'll see wonderful things such as vintage wedding dresses, heirloom jewellery and decadent Art Deco interiors making their mark in my stories. My debut, THE SECOND CHANCE BOUTIQUE, has been published in the US by Sourcebooks, as well as in the UK (as 'The Perfect Dress') , Germany, Italy and Spain. My second novel (title TBC) will be published in October 2020. When I'm not writing, my interests are painting, gardening, running, eating and anything vintage. Before becoming a full-time writer, I used to work as a teacher. I have three children and live in London, although I make regular trips to the US as I have family in Baltimore.Find out more at: https://twitter.com/louisaleamanhttps://www.instagram.com/louisaleaman/https://www.facebook.com/LouisaLeamanAuthor/
