This is the follow-up to Born Free. In Living Free, Joy Adamson describes Elsa's pregnancy, birth, raising of the cubs, and the cubs' life after Elsa's death.

Living Free is Part Two of the story and tells of the birth of Elsa's cubs and follows the first year of their lives. Another wonderful tale of this magnificent lioness that is absolutely touching. The true story of Elsa's life and the life of her cubs in by far one of the most fascinating stories

of wildlife and nature that I have ever read. I admire the Adamson's for their devotion to this lioness and her three cubs and I envy the love the lioness showed the couple. How amazing must it have been to have had such an up close and personal relationship with a lioness and her family in the African bush?! A truly astonishing story that will always remain with me.
