The Lion

By Joseph Kessel

$7.00

Against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro, on a great game preserve in Kenya, the warden, once a great hunter, his ten-year-old daughter Patricia, Oriunga, a primitive Masai warrior, and King, the gorgeous lion the small girl loves and knows so well — these are the characters in a vibrant, swift, and suspenseful novel in which love and hate and savagery clash inevitably and then explode.

It is the story of a young girl’s power over a majestic beast. Possessing a special understanding for the wildlife that roams securely in the huge man-made preserve where she has grown up, Patricia loves above all living creatures King, the lion she has raised from a cub. Then an arrogant, proud warrior enters this sanctuary, and man and lion instantly recognise each other as predestined enemies.
