Light Shining Through the Mist: A Photobiography of Dian Fossey

Shipping was fast! The book was as promised. Gave as a gift along with hardcover 'Gorillas in the Mist' and recipient was thrilled!!!

Light Shining Through the Mist

I think this book was pretty interesting on how she lived a lot of her life helping gorillas. She wrecked poachers traps and learned to live somewhat like a gorilla. I would be very interested to read about her murder and why it happpened. She was a very brave women and lived very simply, yet she loved it. I thought she did a great thing.

Dian Fossey

This is a great book, and it is a wonderful way to understand the life of Dian Fossey. This is definetly a book for people who love animals and admire the work of Dian Fossey.
