MiliMili Shipmate
edited July 1 in Heaven
This month's book is historical fiction, taking inspiration from the true cross country journey of Lofty and Patches, San Diego's Zoo first giraffes. West with Giraffes adds the fictional adventures, trials and hidden secrets of an older man, a young man, Woody Nickel, orphaned by the dust bowl, and a young woman, Augusta, who dreams of becoming a famous photographer, as they transport the giraffes across the U.S.

    Just downloaded this. I've been immersed in tons of golden age detective fiction so this sounds like a nice change.

    Ordered from large, national book emporium. Gives estimate of July 14. My favourite local second hand book store did not have it in stock.
