    About this ebook

    Jotto, a tiny dirt-poor boy, has little except big dreams after an elephant passes through his remote Thailand farming village and he is given an accidental ride.

    Scorned and ridiculed by the other village children and even his own family, Jotto holds steadfast to his vision of someday having an elephant of his own.

    Set in 1980's Thailand, this historical fiction is for dreamers of all ages.

    Author

    Shine LeFlur

    Shine LeFlur is primarily a Chronicler of East Texas, Nacogdoches County, and especially the fictional Martins Landing rural life of the 1950's. Dallas, Houston, Shreveport, New Orleans, and Monterey, CA also garnered his attention for the fabulous 50's. Other LeFlur tales are international in flavor, set in Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Saudi Arabia, and reflect the 60's, 70's, and 80's periods. Equally notable are Shine's fantasy yarns, mostly futuristic, improbable but realistic.
