A baby elephant is lost and alone in the forest, when a herd of buffaloes comes along and takes him into their fold...so what is he now - elephant or buffalo? Inspired by a true story, this is a joyous tale in verse which touches lightly on the themes of loss, adoption and integration. "Elephants Never Forget!" combines Anushka Ravishankar's jubilant and playful verse with Christiane Pieper's graphic woodcut-style illustrations, to create a book which is uniquely tactile, fun to read, and visually stunning. This special limited edition of "Elephants..." is screenprinted and bound by our team of skilled bookmaking artisans, using high-quality handmade paper. Each book is individually numbered as part of a print run of 500. It is an ideal gift for children and adult bibliophiles alike.

Dubbed 'India's Dr. Seuss', Anushka's growing international profile reflects that children everywhere are equally at home in the nonsensical and fantastical world she creates. Her expansive talent shines most brilliantly in her works of nonsense verse - happy and artful adaptations of this difficult genre to the cadences of Indian English. Said to be the pioneer of this form, she has earned national and international acclaim for the eleven verse books released with Tara over the last decade. Rights to her books have been snapped up in the US, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Korea, Italy, Japan and Spain, and she has over twelve awards to her name. Christiane Pieper is a well-known German illustrator who has worked for some of Germany's most prestigious publishing houses, and has illustrated over 25 books, many of them award winners. She is particularly interested in capturing moods and movement in her pictures and revealing humour in the situations that she depicts. Since she grew up on a farm, she has a special interest in animals - she also illustrated Tara's witty Alphabets Are Amazing Animals, her first collaboration with Anushka Ravishankar.
