Two hauntingly atmospheric stories from author/songwriter Leon Rosselson. Both stories feature a child who is seen to be 'different' by his/her peer group and both suffer bullying, resolved through a mysterious force, a ghostly spirit.
Fierce and funny, this memoir in essay and song is full of wonderful tales of art and protest. Leon Rossleson's Where are the Elephants is a rare behind the scenes look at the life and times of one of England's foremost folksingers. This clear-eyed portrait of an activist who never gave up and whose talent, wit, and verve brought the world into finer focus provides a model for a whole new generation of radicals. Fans will love revisiting the lyrics from his hits--and behind the scenes glimpses of the stories and events that inspired his songs, but Rosselson's story of growing from a red diaper baby into a modern troubadour up against the barricades is a tale for the ages.
