'ORIGINALLY written in the 1950s, this classic title gets a re-release thanks to Scallywag Press, and a charming edition they have put together too. 'The timeless narrative, gentle humour, tender friendship between the lion and François, and the delightfully characterful illustrations are a reminder why this book is still a firm family favourite and make it the ideal gift for a new generation of readers.' Lancashire Evening Post Highly recommended.' Children's Books Ireland 'Very funny and with a brilliant sense of timing, this fifty-year-old classic feels fresh and effortlessly timeless. 'Duvoisin's illustrations are exceptional and his big-picture format would make a roaringly good present for a summer birthday.'
