Narration To Books Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds (Story of Elsa #1)

There have been many accounts of the return to the wild of tame animals, but since its original publication in 1960, when The New York Times hailed it as a "fascinating and remarkable book," Born Free has stood alone in its power to move us.

Joy Adamson's story of a lion cub in transition between the captivity in which she is raised and the fearsome wild to which she is returned captures the abilities of both humans and animals to cross the seemingly unbridgeable gap between their radically different worlds. Especially now, at a time when the sanctity of the wild and its inhabitants is increasingly threatened by human development and natural disaster, Adamson's remarkable tale is an idyll, and a model, to return to again and again.

Illustrated with the same beautiful, evocative photographs that first enchanted the world forty years ago and updated with a new introduction by George Page, former host and executive editor of the PBS series Nature and author of Inside the Animal Mind, this anniversary edition introduces to a new generation one of the most heartwarming associations between man and animal.

Crit Out Of Books Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds (Story of Elsa #1)

The story of a lion cub,raised in captivity,and returned to the wild,and the couple who made it happen.

I read this when I was a child and remember loving it. Would love to read it again someday.

When I was thirteen, I named a barn cat after Elsa. 😧

I was just coming into my teens when I first saw the 1966 film Born Free, and along with almost everyone else, was overwhelmed by the idea: the passion and the trauma involved. The film starred Virginia McKenna as Joy Adamson, along with her real-life husband, Bill Travers. Most people now know the story of a female lion cub, who was raised in captivity, and then returned to the wild. I rushed out and bought a copy of the true story as soon as I could. This is that edition, dating from 1968, and

This is the book the film was based upon, the story of Elsa the lioness, hand raised by a Senior Game Warden and his wife, Joy Adamson, and later released into the wild. This would be rated five stars except that I really try to be stingy with those. The book didn't make me cry, laugh-out-loud or change my thinking, and Adamson, while she writes well and fluently, doesn't have the impressive, lyrical prose of Beryl Markham and Isak Dinesen, two other European women who wrote celebrated memoirs

I have never cried so hard while reading a book. I'll never forget Elsa's story and how it made me feel. The sequels are gut-wrenching.

I saw the movie Born Free as a child and loved it. I probably read the book along the way too but as usual don't remember. The story of Elsa and the Adamsons is still an amazing one of love and devotion between a wild animal and her 'pride', George and Joy Adamson. The descriptions of where and how they lived is really interesting as it's a way of life not many will ever experience
