Tusker Tales

The bond between men and elephants has often been noted. In this new Rupa anthology, Ruskin Bond brings together marvellous adventure stories centring around the elephant by the likes of Rudyard Kipling, Jan Kinnsale, KM Eady, WG Adam, Reginald Campbell and Peggy Albrecht. He also includes his own story, 'The Elephant and the Cassowary', based on a real-life incident. Sometimes tragic, sometimes humorous and always deeply touching, this anthology is a tribute to man's friendship with a very magnificent animal.
