«Travels on My Elephant» is Mark Shand's travel book, published by Penguin in paperback (224 pages, in English).
The author recounts his journey of some 1,000 kilometres through India with Tara, a thirty-year-old elephant who has suffered abuse, until reaching Sonepur Mela, the oldest elephant market in the world. What begins as an adventure becomes an endearing relationship, and the traveller's affection and care make Tara the great protagonist of the road.
Originally published by Cape in 1991; this Penguin edition is from 1992 and includes photographs by Aditya Patankar and a bibliography.
For readers of travel literature and true animal stories, with an interest in India and its traditions.
