The ivory king
Charles Frederick Holder
The elephant remembers, mourns, and outwits its keepers, and Charles Holder tells its whole story. From habits and intelligence to the frozen mammoth, three and four-tusked giants, and the legendary Jumbo, the ivory king rules these pages. Natural history rich with wonder and anecdote. A grand tribute to the largest land animal and its long companionship with people. Meet the giants of the herd.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
