1956 kenya, senior game warden george adamson and his wife joy take three lione cubs into their home because the three became orphans. after several months the two stronger girls leave for the zoo of rotterdam and the smallest one, elsa, stays behind with the adamson couple. she stays with them for three years after which she goes back into the wilderness. elsa is a loving companion and so having to let her go back to where she belongs is not that easy, but it is the way is should be done. elsa keeps in touch with her foster parents for many years after their separation.
have read this book many times, and still get happy reading it and seeing the photo's. my copy is from 1962, with yellowed pages and and old book smell, lovely. will read it again.

I read this book during my stay in Kenya and visited some of the spots.
