I have to say I struggled at first to find the purpose of this book and to find the voice in which to read it

I read aloud in my head and this story, this explanation, this tale, was like few I have read. When halfway through I found that voice and thoroughly enjoyed a new story, told in a new way.

As with so many books I enjoy it wasn’t about anything particularly thrilling, just a lovely little story that gave a peek into a journey of an elephant in the sixteenth century and those that accompanied him
