Description
Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives. That bond was tested through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary mahout trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City.
A captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most remarkable true stories ever told, perfect for fans of The Zookeeper's Wife or Water for Elephants.
