Mr Shand, who was a British travel writer and conservationist, wrote Travels On My Elephant, in 1992. It was based on his experiences across India with an Asian elephant named Tara. Sadly, Mr Shand died in 2014 after suffering a fall in New York. In a series of Instagram stories on Clarence House's social media account, Camilla gave her reasons behind each book she'd selected, saying that her brother's memoir"always brings a tear to my eye.
