LADY AND THE PANDA
Wealthy young adventurer Bill Harkness died in China while on a quest for a giant panda. It was the 1930s, and nobody had ever succeeded in taking a panda out of China alive. His widow, Ruth, took her $20,000 inheritance and embarked on a journey to the remote mountains and thick bamboo forests of the China-Tibet border in search of a live giant panda. Against all odds, she succeeded where her husband had not. Ruth Harkness fearlessly arranged the expedition into unknown territory where they ultimately found a baby giant panda. She was completely prepared, with bottles, nipples and milk, and was able to keep little Su-Lin alive all the way back to the United States. Su-Lin then lived at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, where he was a instant sensation, attracting enormous crowds. Seventy years later, Harkness's niece and several interested friends, including author Croke, retraced the steps of Ruth Harkness's incredible journey. |
| This book is based on many never-before-released letters and this second trip. Raver's outstanding gentle and lyric reading of this inspiring story is slow and clear. Susan Offner, Teacher, Lexington HS, Lexington, MA |
