Helpful Score: 1


What was written 298 pages could have been written in 200. It takes place in the late 1700's in England. It's about a man who buys 2 very sickly elephants thinking he is going to breed then and have a whole herd of elephants. A young boy, Tom, who takes care of his horses is hired to take care of the elephants. One of the elephants is sold so now Tom has just Jenny to care for. The book continues with the adventures Tom and Jenny have during the next several years. Not one of the most interesting books I have ever read.
