Queen of the Elephants

Queen of the Elephants

"Queen of the Elephants" is a book authored by the conservationist and travel writer Mark Shand and the corresponding BBC documentary "Queen of the Elephants", based on the life of the first female mahout in recent times—Parbati Barua of Kaziranga. The book went on to win the 1996 Thomas Cook Travel Book Award and the Prix Litteraire d'Amis, providing free publicity simultaneously to the profession of mahouts, and to Kaziranga.
