About this listen
A captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most remarkable stories ever told, perfect for fans of The Zookeeper's Wife or Water for Elephants.
Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again: through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is "heartwarming...probably the greatest love story ever told".
"Once I started this incomparable story, I couldn't put it down, and I cannot get it out of my mind - nor will I ever. The message of what can be accomplished by training through affection and joy will thrill all animal lovers." (Betty White)

Powerful and unforgettable
This is a true story about a man and an elephant, born on the same day, within the same hour of each other, whose bond is stronger than most people ever experience with another living being. An incredible tale of hardship and heartache, descriptive and beautifully written, will leave you with a sense of being enlightened somehow. Don’t forget to have the tissues close whilst listening to this book. An incredible story which I recommend to anyone who loves elephants and who is connected to nature. A great read.
