AN ENTHRALLING STORY
‘ Elephant Brother,’ by C. 'l. btoncham (Hutchison) is an enthralling story, far removed from the ordinary run. It is by the author of ‘ Africa All Over ’ ami ‘ Wanderings in Wild Africa,’ and it is a story full of the breathless suspense of the tropical forest, but it is no mere “ traveller s tale.” Its thrills, its colours, and us conflicts are convincing, and the author’s revelation of animal life, as presented through Lovu, the mighty elephant, with crises as exciting as ever confront the mind of ivu\n. make inis *i memorable book. Lovu is the “ e.ephanfc brother ” of Alan Carey, who sets out to prove that an elephant never really forgets a kindness nor, on the other hand, does it fail to recall the memory of a wrong. The human understanding of these groat brutes is strikingly told in this book, which has a certain romantic interest. it is a story that should appeal to all animal lovers.
