Joy Adamson - The Searching Spirit

Joy Adamson was not only a pioneer for the preservation of wildlife, but also a very courageous individual who faced many challenges in her life. She learned to adapt herself to live in different countries, learn different traditions and languages and she developed her unique personality with her beautiful paintings of African people, flowers and animals and also with her dedication to fight the abuse of wild animals taken away from their natural habitat. She wrote inspiring books about Elsa the lioness and other wild animals which she cared for before releasing them back into the wild.

In this book we read about the experiences which led this extraordinary woman to write about the animals and the wild life she cared so much for and also for her final legacy to help preserve wild life for the generations to come. Her story is amazing and her legacy is a great gift.
