The Snow Woman - by Norah Burke
Norah Burke was born in Bedford, England in 1907.  Immediately after, she and her mother joined her father in India where he was working as a Forest Officer in the foothills of the Himalaya.  The author was raised in the jungle, often more than 100 km from civilization, and her earliest playmates were jungle animals, especially the elephants her family used for transportation.
