Elephants, the largest land animals on Earth, have long been part of life throughout India. Some of them are trained to do work, while others perform at public festivals. When Ted and Betsy Lewin arrive in India to see the elephants, they meet Balarama - a lead Royal Elephant about to make his debut in the traditional parade that concludes the celebration of Dasara in the city of Mysore. Features Ted and Betsy Lewin's trademark combination of cartoon sketches and sweeping watercolour paintings.
