Andrews & Mcmeel Tall Blondes

Veteran journalist Lynn Sherr has been an avid giraffophile since she visited the African wilderness nearly 25 years ago Tall Blondes traces the cultural history of the giraffe from its first appearance in Europe in 46 B.C. through medieval bestiaries and up to the modern giraffe star of a TV movie, and much more. Sherr has filled the book with little-known tidbits, awe-inspiring photographs and drawings, and intriguing tales about the world's tallest land animal.
