The sole survivor of the disastor was a baby hippo who was rescued and given the name Owen. Motherless and alone, Owen is befriended by Mzee, a giant male tortoise at a local nature reserve. This moving and charming tale is the story of their friendship. From satyrs and sea creatures to griffins and dragons, monsters lay at the heart of the medieval world.
