Bandoola

Those who have read Elephant Bill will remember the wartime exploits of that magnificent creature Bandoola. Bandoola and his oozie, Po Toke, are the principal characters in this delightful successor to a famous best-seller. But there are many others whom the author met and knew in the course of his work of extracting timber from the teak forests of Burma; Willie, who preferred wine to women; Millie, who could read the droppings of elephants like books; reckless Gerry Dawson and desperate Rasher; and—among the most intriguing—Molly Mia, the dog which Elephant Bill controlled by telepathy and which helped to select a wife for him.

“Bandoola touches a peak as high as that achieved by Elephant Bill. His latest book of elephant-lore in Burma is enthralling”—Daily Telegraph

“If Elephant Bill is as good as Bandoola it must be a very good book indeed”—Howard Spring
