Sophy Roberts
A Training School For Elephants
Sophy Roberts, author of the Sunday Times Book of the Year The Lost Pianos of Siberia, will celebrate the publication of her bold new book A Training School for Elephants. In the footsteps of a 19th-century colonial expedition, she will unfold a strange untold story, weaving past and present on her journey from Dorset to Tanzania, Donegal, India, Iraq and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In this talk — accompanied by images and film by the American fine art photographer Michael Turek — Sophy will delve into the excitements and challenges of retrieving lost history, remote landscapes, and our broken relationship with animals. A local author who lives in the Marshwood Vale near Bridport, Sophy is a regular contributor on travel and wildlife conservation stories to FT Weekend among other titles.
