Adventures of an Elephant Boy

Adventures of an Elephant Boy is another brilliant political satire filled with heart and humor by the author of The Mouse That Roared.

Living in a quiet village on the Ganges River with the freedom to do as he pleases, a simple elephant boy named Hari Ranjit Singh is selected by the Best of All Possible Nations (any resemblance to the U.S.A. being wholly intentional) to be its personal guest. On his way there, Hari learns that in order to have liberty and happiness in the rest of the world, you need lots of laws…lots and lots of laws.

“Some writers have a talent for narrative. Some have a talent for satire. Leonard Wibberley has a talent for both, and is one of the few today who can hold a reader’s interest with characters and story while at the same time satirizing such things as war, politics, taxes, psychiatry and man’s inhumanity to man.”—The Los Angeles Times

“Another hilarious Swiftian satire by the master—still pertinent to our times.”—Goodreads Reviewer

★★★★★ “If you enjoy political satire at its best, you must read this book! I read it first as a high school student during the Vietnam era when my friend lent it to me. I had searched for it off and on over the years and finally found it via Amazon. The characterization of political nonsense and power still holds true today. GREAT SATIRE. GREAT BOOK!”—Amazon Reviewer
