Noah is a cantankerous old African elephant. But he's found a friend in a young human, and he tells his story to him, what will become Noah the Wanderer: An Elephant Memoir. Communicating in a silent language that bridges their species, Noah relates his travels across three continents as both a free creature and a captive entertainer. Along the way, he learned the history of his own kind, from ancient Carthage to modern zoos. And he realized that humans and elephants grow old in the same way and have a guiding spirit that watches over them both.
Inspired by a documentary on elephants, which led to years of reading about these animals, David Kilpatrick has crafted an epic fable sure to please anyone who loves history and seeing how lives intertwine across time and species. As we mature, slide through life, experience joy and pain and love and heartache, so too did our ancestors, so too will our descendants, and so do all the creatures of this vast planet. More than a recitation of historical facts and myth, Noah the Wanderer offers readers a moving story of the greatest community: that we all share here on Earth.
