|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Danish writer Peter Høeg is best known for his third novel [[Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow by Peter Hoeg|Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow]], partly because it was made into one of the more beautiful movie adaptations of modern fiction. While his latest book, ''The Elephant Keepers' Children'' is unlikely to change that association, it is a magical, story told through the eyes of the charmingly precocious fourteen year old Peter, full of farcical events, zany chases and brilliantly named characters. If you are looking for a gritty, realistic novel, this won't fit the bill, but for all its madcap events, Høeg continues his arch view of events and has surprising depth in the form of philosophical consideration of religions and faith.
