The Story of an Ordinary Lion

By Janet Doolaege

Can a desert lion become the faithful companion of a man? Leo, a rather dreamy lion, meets Father Jerome and finds that he can. He can also be a hero. But people, even those who work as translators, can’t understand the language of lions. When Rebecca, the donkey, disappears, Leo is punished. How can he prove his innocence? This reworking of an old legend is intended for children aged 8-12.

I grew up in England but now live in France, not too far from Paris, in a village on the edge of a forest. Our house contains more books than I will ever have time to read.
