Hannibal's Elephant Girl

A novel by

Ariion Kathleen Brindley





                                                                                 "This is the story of my life as a young girl following Hannibal and his army from
                                                                                 Carthage in North Africa to Iberia, and then over the Alps toward Rome. I never
                                                                                 reached Rome, but then neither did Hannibal. I left him after the battle of Trebbia,
                                                                                 taking with me his last remaining elephant, Obolus, and my friend, the slave girl
                                                                                 Tin Tin Ban Sunia. This book recounts the first month of our long journey."

Excerpt from the book

                                                                                 When I awoke, I lay on soft animal skins by the fire with Tendao's cape spread over me. The
                                                                        gray tarp above flapped gently in the breeze and a woman sat at my feet, watching.
                                                                                 "How do you feel?" the woman asked.
                                                                                 I sat up, trying to understand what had happened. Everything seemed strange; the crackling fire, the
                                                                        tangy smoke twisting toward me, and the tables surrounding the cooking fire like stiff-legged animals
                                                                        patiently waiting to be fed. Yellow sunlight slanted low over the treetops, bathing everything in gold and
                                                                        amber. The woman's face shone in the glow of late afternoon. I remembered she was Yzebel.
