Delta the Dancing Elephant: A Memoir

Delta's story is told in the first person narrative coercing the reader to anthropomorphize, to empathize, and to put themselves in her shoes, so to speak. An Asian elephant whose family was culled in the 1930's, she takes you through the life of an individual who is normally not thought of twice: a performing elephant. Throughout the story, appear hints of time and history sugar-coated by music. Character names are hybrid names of real noted elephants and elephant-noted people, presenting the reader with a challenge to see and think beyond mere words. From the author who was also compelled to pen the children s story Tyke and the Elephant Angel, this lifelong tale is designed for young adult readers and above.
