The Eye of the Tiger
Pollyanna and Anna-Louise's fourth bookThe Eye of the Tiger
is the beautifully illustrated story of two expeditions to India
recounting their unique experiences – working with project
tiger rangers; being given an orphan sloth bear as a birthday
gift; facing a charging tiger and living to tell the tale. At
the heart of this absorbing travel journal is the majestic tiger
and the heroic efforts of all those who strive to ensure its
survival in the wild.
The book is due for release late October 2007
Virginia previously wrote the foreword for Giant Pandas and
Sleeping Dragons.
“I opened the book and saw the endearing, enchanting images of Pollyanna's pandas,. I began to read Anna-Louise's fascinating, amused and informed diaries, and I knew I was about to travel with them both on an unforgettable and perhaps unrepeatable journey.......”

Within the foreword Virginia writes:
“I feel I have travelled every step of the way with
Pollyanna and Anna-Louise on their Indian Journey. Shared with
them the exhilaration,, wonder, fun and all the other myriad
experiences they had as they sought the elusive tiger, symbol
of India…..I hope this illuminating book will open many
eyes and stir many hearts”
Pollyanna has been very pleased to support the work of Born
Free and has designed exclusive Christmas cards for the Foundation,
as well as raising funds through her own charitable foundation
to support several of their projects, including the rescue of
orphan polar bears in the Arctic, a programme of wolf inoculation
in Ethiopia and the building of a new sanctuary for rescued
lions in South Africa.
The Eye of the Tiger will be published late October 2007.
