Answer 1

Answer:

Norah Burke,  Jungle Child (1956)

Explanation:

Norah Burke was an enthusiastic British travel writer who relates her early adventures in her autobiographical travel books Jungle Child published in 1956. The book is fascinating with the story of a young British girl and her family who live in the jungles around Lansdowne, Uttarakhand in the hill country of India. The father of the girl is a forest officer who makes them relocate severally in the jungle where they stayed in a place three to four days. They would then pack the camels and ride the elephants to the next camp. Together with his younger brother, she rarely interacts with other children that made them to become independent. She has poor memory of visiting her father estate in Suffolk thus lives in the jungle up to 1919. At 12 she was taken back to Britain to go to school.
