The Man Who Loves Giants: The Continuing Story of an Artist Among Elephants and Engines by David Shepherd

In this book David Shepherd describes his full and varied life, from his early career as an aviation artist with the RAF to his encounters with African wildlife and his work on the East Somerset Railway, of which he is founder and Chairman.

The book also tells of the author's world travels - he has travelled the world in nuclear bombers, helicopters, HMS Ark Royal, a Lancaster bomber and a submarine - and of his work for wildlife preservation. He has been awarded the Order of the Golden Ark for his services to conservation.
