Enormous Elephant (African Animal Tales) - Softcover

Mwenye Hadithi was born in Nairobi in a rambling brick and wood house surrounded by ten acres. His early life was full of animals. He attended London University, studying languages and foreign literature. When his first attempts at short stories and radio plays were sold immediately, he decided to be the next great African Writer.

Adrienne Kennaway spent most of her formative life in Kenya, East Africa, where she developed her interest in wildlife. Interest soon turned to art and even as a child Adrienne painted animals. A spell at Ealing Tech in London and L'Academie Bella Arte in Rome polished Adrienne's skills. Adrienne has illustrated over 30 children's books and her illustrations for Crafty Chameleon won the Kate Greenaway Prize. A world-wide traveller, Adrienne now enjoys spending time in the countryside, capturing the local wildlife on canvas. She lives in the Republic of Ireland.

BRUCE HOBSON writes as Mwenye Hadithi (pronounced m-when-yay hadee thee) which simply means a story-teller in Swahili. His work is published internationally and he lives in Nairobi. Bruce designs and plants tropical landscapes for a living, but also writes.

When Adrienne Kennaway was growing up she lived all over the world and once rescued a tiny baby otter from certain death in Malaysia. He became the family pet and even travelled to Africa with them. Adrienne is a great lover of all forms of nature. She lives in the Republic of Ireland.
