Good Reads "Mrs. Adamson is confirmed as one of the most remarkable women of her times. I believe The Spotted Sphinx to be her best book." - Derek Tangye, Sunday Telegraph. "She has done it again! There is so much vital warmth in her narrative. Its pictorial record is superb." - Times Literary Supplement "Joy Adamson (born Friederike Victoria Gessner) was a naturalist, artist, and author best known for her book, Born Free, which describes her experiences raising a lion cub named Elsa. Born Free was printed in several languages, and made into an Academy Award-winning movie of the same name. In 1977, she was awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art. Born to Victor and Traute Gessner in Troppau, Silesia, Austria-Hungary (now Opava, Czech Republic) and was the 2nd of 3 girls. Her father was a wealthy architect. After the divorce of her parents, Joy went to live with her grandmother. In her autobiography The Searching Spirit, Adamson wrote about her grandmother, saying, "It is to her I owe anything that may be good in me."" Good Reads. Seller Inventory # 112-2023
