1)Born in Austria-Hungary 1910 Friederike Victoria “Joy” Adamson was a naturalist, artist and author of the world-famous book Born Free about her experiences raising Elsa the lion cub.
2)Her life-long passion was the protection and conservation of Wildlife, and she lived most of her life in Kenya.
3)Hers was a life full of stories (married three times), chance, fame and tragedy. She stopped at nothing to follow her dreams and they were largely about raising big cats. These come under the categories- lions, cheetahs and leopards, each of which at some point in her life she helped to raise.
4)The first time that her wild career was kick-started was when she moved to Kenya. At the time she was married to her first husband Viktor Von Klarwill he planned to join her later, but on the voyage, she met the botanist Peter Bally. By the time Von Klarwill arrived she had fallen in love with Bally. Soon she married Bally who taught her how to make botanical sketches of the flora and fauna around her, and she developed her own unique style.
5)Next while on Safari one day she met the head game warden George Adamson in 1940. Four years later they were married. And they spent much time exploring and living in the natural surroundings of Kenya’s National Park.
6)By chance in 1956 a Lioness attacked George while he was out doing his job. He shot and killed it in self-defence but later realized she was only protecting her litter of lion cubs who were hidden in some rocks nearby.
7)This began the Born Free chapter of Joy’s life because after George brought the rescued cubs home, they chose to keep Elsa the smallest of the three, the others were sent to a Dutch zoo. Joy’s idea developed that one day her baby lioness should be released back into the wild. This was not to happen until some years later and many trials and much training – the young lioness had to be taught how to hunt.
8)In the end Elsa became the first lion to be raised in captivity and released back to the wild so she could stand on her own two feet and survive alone. She had her own litter, and the couple photographed the young family from a distance. Tragedy struck Elsa when a Tick bit her and she died from the infection.
9)The Adamson’s were worried about the three cubs because without their mother’s leadership they began getting into difficult situations with local farmers. So, for their own protection, the Adamsons captured the cubs and moved them to a safer home in the Serengeti National Park. It was here that Joy lost track of them forever, and this marks the last book in the trilogy Forever Free.
10)After the publication of Born Free Joy became a celebrity and travelled the world giving talks, she lived apart from her husband because of their separate interests. Joy later raised a Cheetah family and wrote the books on Pippa the Cheetah, and finally she also raised a Leopard cub called Penny as well.
11)Her life ended tragically when a former employee whom she had fired- a Kenyan man – murdered her. Although at first, they thought her death was from a lion attack, when investigators examined her body, they found out that Paul Nakware Ekai was the murderer. A final tragedy struck George in 1989 when he rescued a tourist from violent poachers. The tourist was saved but George died as a result.
12)Joy and George’s life and work for the protection of Wildlife changed conservation and advertised it to the world as an important issue. The success of Born Free in the 60s raised lots of money for charity. The public bought it because they loved her photography and illustrations showing the life of Elsa. Later a movie was made too.
