Syun and Kung

Once upon a time in distant Vietnam, in the mountainous jungles full of various amazing animals, two little elephants were born: the brave Syun and the gentle Kung. They immediately became friends and were inseparable until a human separated them: foreign hunters captured the elephants. Ahead of Syun and Kung lay hard work for greedy and cruel masters, but who could have thought that they would meet again - to embark together on a long and difficult journey to the Leningrad Zoo.
The exceptional story of the Leningrad elephants inspired the remarkable children's writer Vitaly Bianchi and the vibrant illustrator Vladimir Shevchenko to create this book, which has been capturing readers' hearts for over half a century.
