TRAVELS ON MY ELEPHANT

If you are an armchair traveler, you may have “visited” exotic places by train, automobile or kayak. But have you ever experienced India by elephant? British actor Paul Shelley takes you on a cheerfully chaotic journey through the cities and jungles of India by jeep and elephant. Shelley’s pacing is relaxed, and his characterizations are convincing. As the story’s narrator, he projects himself as a dashing quixotic adventurer eager to master the art of elephant riding. As a philosophical Indian mahout, he reflects long-suffering patience. This book offers a unique and funny travel experience--guaranteed to change your feelings about the English, Indians and their elephants. J.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 93]
