Set in Salt Lake City at the height of the Great Depression,Linda Sillitoe's last novel opens with three littlegirls, eleven-year-old triplets, skipping in front of theirhouse at 1300 South, across from Liberty Park.Theygiggle lightly as they chant:Prin-cess Al-ice in Liberty ParkMunch-es ba-nan-as 'til way after dark.Princess Alice is an elephant the children of Utahpurchased by donating nickels and dimes to a circus.The girls don't know this, but her handler takes themammoth princess out on late-night strolls around thepark when the moon is out. What they do know is thatthe elephant sometimes escapes and goes on a rampage,crashing through front-yard fences and collecting collarsof clothesline laundry around her neck, a persistenttrain of barking dogs following behind.The girls' father is a police officer who is investigatinga boy's disappearance. As the case unfolds, the perceptionof the park, with its eighty acres of trees andgrass, will change from the epitome of freedom to a placeto be avoided, even as Princess Alice moves to a secureconfinement at a new zoo at the mouth of EmigrationCanyon. The story is loosely based on the exploits ofa real live elephant that lived in Liberty Park a decadebefore Sillitoe's childhood in the neighborhood.
