From dust jacket: "Known for the part she played in the film Born Free, the (author) tells of the individual animals who have been her friends. Few people can have had a greater variety, from George the snake to Tigger the dog who were her companions when she was a small child, to otters, lions, rhinos, and elephants. Finally there is Bambi, a delightful roe deer who joined the Travers family when he was only a few hours old... (The author's) feelings toward animals, which she shares with her husband, (and Born Free co-star) Bill Travers, make it clear why the two of them have been able to revolutionize the methods of making films with wild creatures, taking the risk involved in gaining their trust and affection, true to the example set for them by Joy and George Adamson (the real-life couple portrayed in Born Free.)
