You only have to read the newspapers to know that elephants are in serious danger; huge numbers being killed for their ivory but from reading John Sutherland’s Jumbo we learn that tragedy and the elephant have long been linked. Jumbo was just one of too many elephants suffering at the hands of man and through Jumbo’s story we learn of other elephants, elephant facts and figures, everything the committed elephant lover will want to read.
