Description

A Lion Called Christian by Anthony Bourke and John Rendall is a heartwarming story about an unlikely friendship between two young men and their pet lion, Christian. In 1969, the duo purchased a boisterous lion cub in Harrods, but soon found themselves at odds over what to do with the growing animal. The only solution was to place Christian under the expert care of George Adamson in Kenya, where he would be introduced into his rightful home in the wild. The story of their reunion, captured on a famous YouTube clip, has become an internet phenomenon and a testament to the enduring power of human-animal bonds. Stunning photographs accompany this unique and extraordinary tale, which resonates with readers today as much as it did when first published in 2010.
