An amazing, heart-warming and true story of how a lion cub grows up as a pet and ends up returned to his real home in the wilds of Kenya. When Ace and John see Christian the lion cub in Harrods, the shop that sells everything, they know they must get him out. For a year they enjoy his companionship as a pet taking him to the park, for a drink in the pub and such like. Then they realise they must set him free in his own territory. Soft focus illustrations capture the delightful lion as he grows.
From the moment that Ace and John brought Christian the lion cub home from a London department store, they knew they had created a special family. But Christian soon grew too big to live with them in their small apartment, so Ace and John flew Christian to Africa to live with other lions. A year later, they went to visit.
