The Eye Of The Elephant: An Epic Adventure in the African Wilderness (signed)
Mariner Books, 1993. First edition. Softcover. Signed by both Delia and Mark Owens on the title page. Loosely a sequel to Cry of the Kalahari, which was set in Botswana and won the John Burroughs Medal for natural history writing. This book tells of their new efforts in Zambia to stem poaching of elephants and other animals by introducing cottage industries to local villages, "but some of the big commercial poachers decided the Owenses should die, and Delia and Mark's battle to save elephants turned into a fight for their own lives." Many years later Delia would go on to great fame and success for her novel Where the Crawdads Sing. Color photo insert at center. A very good plus paperback with light wear to edges and corners, and a modest silver bookstore sticker on rear wrap. Very good. Item #933
