Queen of Shaba. After the success of the Born Free books, author Joy Adamson began studying African leopards at the Shaba animal preserve. She found her greatest challenge, and triumph, in the raising of the leopard cub Penny. Published posthumously after her murder at the Shaba preserve by a former employee.
Friederike Victoria "Joy" Adamson (née Gessner, 20 January 1910 – 3 January 1980) was a naturalist, artist and author. Her book, Born Free, describes her experiences raising a lion cub named Elsa. Born Free was printed in several languages, and made into an Academy Award-winning movie of the same name. In 1977, she was awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art.
