Review
A lively, engaging and often exciting Indian travel book (Robert Carver, Times Literary Supplement)
Richly observed and brilliantly written, this book combines travel narrative with a thrilling plot that is hard to put down (Louise Earl, Daily Express)
A masterful piece of writing, full of suspense and crisis of plot...Above all, Hall is to be congratulated on writing a book that promises humour and adventure, and delivers both (Spectator)
This remarkable book is more than just a ripping yarn: it is also a beautifully observed, richly textured portrait of a little visited corner of India...A wonderful book that should become a classic (Daily Mail)
From the Author
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT 'TO THE ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD'
‘Tarquin Hall’s To the Elephant Graveyard takes a wildlife narrative and fuses it with a true crime story whilst retaining all the qualities of good travel writing... a masterful piece of writing, full of suspense and twists of plot... Above all, Hall is to be congratulated on writing a book that promises humour and adventure, and delivers both.’ Robert Twigger, The Spectator (Book of the Week)
‘This remarkable book is more than just a ripping yarn: it is also a beautifully observed, richly textured portrait of a little visited corner of a well-trodden country at a crucial turning point in its history. One moment Tarquin is lumbering on elephant-back through the sounds and smells of a village that has not changed in centuries; the next he is being threatened by political terrorists and ivory poachers... In the end, though, it is Tarquin’s quest for – and final discovery of – the legendary elephant’s graveyard that haunts the memory long after one has closed the cover of a wonderful book that should become a classic.’ Christopher Matthew, Daily Mail
‘To the Elephant Graveyard... shatters the old image, introducing us to the darker side of the Asian elephant. It is more a thriller than a straightforward travel book and the writing is insightful and sensitive.’ Tahir Shah, Literary Review
‘...fascinating and moving reading.’ Holly Smith, Geographical
