No other markings on inner pages, no wear on covers, spine intact no creases."In this book, Joy Adamson details the story of her orphaned leopard cub, Penny, who came to her at a few weeks old, her mother having been shot for stock-raiding. Joy's aim was to rehabilitate a leopard into the wild, as she had previously, with Elsa, the lioness and Pippa, the cheetah. She found a home for Penny in the wild and remote Shaba reserve in Kenya. Daily radio tracking of Penny's movements meant she could follow her life in the wild, where Penny gave birth to two cubs. Joy had intended to write a sequel, following the lives of her cubs, but her life was brought to a sudden end by her murder on 3rd January 1980. The book contains some beautiful photos." Hedgehog"Joy Adamson (born Friederike Victoria Gessner) was a naturalist, artist, and author best known for her book, Born Free, which describes her experiences raising a lion cub named Elsa. Born Free was printed in several languages, and made into an Academy Award-winning movie of the same name.

After the divorce of her parents, Joy went to live with her grandmother. In her autobiography The Searching Spirit, Adamson wrote about her grandmother, saying, "It is to her I owe anything that may be good in me."" Good Reads.
