ADAMSON, JOY

Born Free : A Lioness of Two Worlds (with Extracts from George Adamson's Letters)

Collins & Harvill Press, London. 1960, 3rd impression. Hardcover, with dust jacket. 160 pages (complete). A RARE copy SIGNED by JOY ADAMSON (on the title page). Third impression (April 1960) of first edition (March 1960). This is perhaps, one of the most loved of books - the story of Elsa the lioness. Joy Adamson was murdered in 1980 and George Adamson was murdered in 1989 - but their legacy is legendary. The dustjacket has a clear plastic protective cover. The dj itself, has wear about the edges, has mild scuffing, and some handling and storage marks. It is secure and comfortable. The boards are attractive despite wear to the edges and corners. The pages are comfortable and congenial. There are very occasional handling and age marks. By far and in general, the pages are companionable and eager to be read. fk. Good/Good. Signed.
