A chic Parisienne, her life changed forever when she fell in love with South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony. Together they founded a game reserve but after Lawrence's death, Francoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him. Poachers attacked their rhinos, their security team wouldn't take orders from a woman and the authorities were threatening to cull their beloved elephant family. On top of that, the herd's feisty new matriarch Frankie didn't like her. In this heart-warming and moving book, Francoise describes how she fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife rescue centre a reality. She found herself caring for a lost baby elephant who turned up at her house, and offering refuge to traumatized orphaned rhinos, and a hippo called Charlie who was scared of water. As she learned to trust herself, she discovered she'd had Frankie wrong all along . . . Filled with extraordinary animals and the humans who dedicate their lives to saving them, An Elephant in My Kitchen by Francoise Malby-Anthony is a captivating and gripping read.; 336 pages; Published: 13\/06\/2019\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781509864928\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2025-09-22T02:36:48+01:00","created_at":"2022-12-01T11:06:30+00:00","vendor":"Pan Macmillan","type":"Extended Range","tags":["Author_Francoise Malby-Anthony","Binding_Paperback","Extended Range","Genre_Biography: general","Imprint_Pan Books"],"price":1099,"price_min":1099,"price_max":1099,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":1099,"compare_at_price_min":1099,"compare_at_price_max":1099,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42216392196275,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781509864928","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"An Elephant in My Kitchen: What the Herd Taught Me about Love, Courage and Survival by Francoise Malby-Anthony","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1099,"weight":150,"compare_at_price":1099,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781509864928","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781509864928.jpg?v=1669895027"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781509864928.jpg?v=1669895027","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"An Elephant in My Kitchen: What the Herd Taught Me about Love, Courage and Survival by Francoise Malby-Anthony Extended Range Pan Macmillan","id":24710184108211,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.659,"height":640,"width":422,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781509864928.jpg?v=1669895027"},"aspect_ratio":0.659,"height":640,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781509864928.jpg?v=1669895027","width":422}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"'The most magical book about the African bush since Born Free' - Daily Mail'A beautiful love story between humans and the majestic elephants' - Jo Malone, Daily ExpressFrancoise Malby-Anthony never expected to find herself responsible for a herd of elephants with a troubled past.
