Whimsical, adventurous, and thoroughly entertaining, An Elephant Charging My Chookhouse is a captivating autobiographical memoir by the colorful Australian author, artist, and filmmaker Harry Reade. Published as a scarce first edition by Lilyfield Publishers in 1987, this hardback volume—complete with its original dust jacket—offers a vibrant look into a life truly lived on the edge of extraordinary adventure. The narrative serves as an unforgettable snapshot of Reade’s globetrotting exploits, weaving together a rich tapestry of African history, travel, and exploration. From the striking, larger-than-life imagery of the title to the deeply personal anecdotes within, Reade details his encounters with exotic wildlife, remote landscapes, and the unexpected absurdities of a life split between the Australian bush and international horizons. Blending the tension of classic adventure fiction with the warmth of an intimate biography, this volume is beautifully preserved with no markings and a very good jacket. It is a prized find for collectors of vintage Australiana, travel literature, and unique biographical tales.
