Whales and Tales

2015 | Biography

Swimming with dolphins, whale-watching tours and seeing animals in the wild are items likely to be high on most people's 'bucket list'. This lavishly illustrated book involves all three, from the west coast of America via The Azores to Kruger National Park in South Africa. The author was lucky enough to indulge her obsession with the wild in several countries, and her enthusiasm abounds throughout this fascinating account of her adventures. Packed with information on the life and habits of her subjects, enhanced with her personal reactions to each new experience, this on-the-spot, day by day narrative together with her own photographs brings alive the journals she kept on her trips. Whales, dolphins, lions and elephants wander through the pages as we marvel at the wildlife through eyes seeing it for the first time, as wonder is conveyed through the excited voice of a 'virgin visitor'.
