Learning from Elephants. This item is unavailable.Learning from Elephants

Brought up in some of the remoter parts of Central Africa, David Lemon was sent away to boarding school at a very early age. Bullied unmercifully and with his parents squabbling at home, his only solace was wandering alone through the bush and spending hours with elephants and other wild life.

After a long police career, that early upbringing helped him survive a number of improbable adventures in the African wilderness and three months before his seventieth birthday, Lemon became the first man in recorded history to walk the length of the Zambezi River.

Having spent much of his life among wild elephants, he looks on them as supreme examples of gentle humanity and puts his successes as an African adventurer down to their calming influence.

With twenty one books to his name, David Lemon now lives a quiet life on Dartmoor where he gives talks on matters African and somewhat reluctantly accepts the fact that his adventuring days are probably over.
