Summary "The Elephant's Ball, and Grand Fete Champetre" by W. B. is a whimsical illustrative poem crafted for children and written in the early 19th century. The book serves as a companion piece to similar works like "The Butterfly's Ball" and "The Peacock 'At Home'," all of which celebrate the whimsical lives and social gatherings of animals. The likely topic revolves around themes of festivity and the social interactions of various animals, expressed through lively language and engaging illustrations. In this charming narrative, the lead character, an elephant, is incensed that insects and birds have claimed the spotlight with their festivities and resolves to host a grand celebration of his own. The story unfolds as a variety of animals gather in a picturesque valley, ready to partake in the ball. The festivities include impressive dances, a lavish feast with plenty of food for all, and a joyful singing of songs that celebrate camaraderie and nature. The atmosphere is one of merriment and unity among the animals as they engage in delightful games and performances, culminating in a harmonious evening that leaves each participant pleased and content.
