Award-winning author and illustrator Caroline Pitcher and Jackie Morris capture the vibrant and wild world of the tiger in this beautiful and lavishly produced book.

When Little Tiger is born he tells his mother of all the exciting sounds he can hear around him. They are his first introduction to the other animals in the forest and the lives they lead. That’s fine for a tiger cub, his mother tells him, but what he must be wating for is when the Lord of the Forest comes. That is when he will hear no sounds.

The little Tiger grows up, mates with a beautiful Tigeress and his own cubs. He is still hearing the sounds of the forest and wondering who the Lord of the Forest may be. One day he looks into the deep pool. Suddenly, he can hear no sounds. Is he the Lord of the Forest?

Beautifully produced in a large format, this fable, richly imagined in both the lyrical words of the text and the stunning, large scale watercolour illustrations, is a book to treasure.

About Lord of the Forest

From the trumpeting elephant to the strutting peacock, there’s plenty of advice available, but perhaps the answer’s a little closer to hand than he realises…
