Harriet: The Life of a Real Galapagos Tortoise

Harriet is a famous tortoise who lives in Queensland.
At about 175 years of age, we think she is the world’s oldest known living land animal!

Harriet was hatched on an island in the Galápagos where she enjoyed an enchanted life, as generations of tortoises had before her. Then someone took her away…

In this entertaining, exciting and informative story, Tony Hill recreates the fascinating life of Harriet from her earliest years to the present.

You have never met a character like this before. Meet Harriet: the ultimate survivor.
