My Pride and Joy: An Autobiography

George Adamson tells the story of his life in the Kenyan bush, from his years as a game warden to the lions he raised and cared for. Best known as the man who worked with Elsa, the lioness whose story was told in Born Free, he describes the daily challenges of living among wild animals and the hard choices involved in trying to return them to the wild. The book blends personal reflection with accounts of the landscape, the people he worked alongside, and the conservation work that shaped his later years.
