Elephants never forget. But poor Rasselas is an elephant who can't recall where in the world he left his legendary memory. When his young human friend Prince Figaro agrees to help with the search, they embark on a risky, heartwarming - and, of course, unforgettable - adventure. Brian Allgar's playful, energetic rhymes carry the boy and the elephant across dangerous waters and rugged mountains, through jungle and desert, and into dramatic encounters with talking animals both friendly and ferocious.
