    About this ebook

    Status: Mumbai resident. Mature, unemployed. Issues: about to be banned, possible onset of Alzheimers. Unusual features: male Asian elephant, no tusks, exceptionally well educated and, most important of all, sentient. A fair CV by any measure, yet that one extra-special job to complete his lacklustre career seems beyond his grasp. Then - hopes raised, hopes dashed - dealing with a teenage goth, her tyrannical mother and colossal bodyguard - not ideal, but... Sedate Plan A has appeal... Scrapped. Insane Plan B gets the go ahead. An odyssey traversing vast swathes of India begins. Time for one aging elephant to reflect on his life and dream that his final wish may still come true: that, before his mind disintegrates completely, maybe, just maybe, someone will sense his thoughts and learn of his extraordinary life... A tale for all ages
