First edition of this “exciting. . . part adventure story, part wildlife tale” (The Boston Globe). Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by Delia and Mark Owens on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Front and back photographs by William Campbell. Jacket design by Mark Caleb.
The Eye of the Elephant recounts the Owens’ struggle to save these innocent animals from decimation, a journey not only to supply the natives with ways of supporting their villages, but also to cultivate support around the globe for the protection of elephants. Filled with daring exploits among disgruntled hunters, arduous labor on the African plains, and vivid depictions of various wildlife, this remarkable tale is at once an adventure story, a travelogue, a preservationist call to action, and a fascinating examination of both human and animal nature.
