Born Free is a book by Joy Adamson. It describes Adamson's experiences raising a lion cub named Elsa. It was translated into several languages, and made into an Academy Award-winning 1966 film of the same name.

I've been a fan of Elsa the lioness since I was young. I have seen the movie multiple times, but this is my first experience with the book. I loved it! Altough the movie is nice, the book gives a new perspective to Elsa's life. I loved how detailed it was and there were pictures - that really helped me to get a nice vision. I got seriously attached to Elsa.
