New Vintage 2005 The Good Lion by Beryl Markham, Adapted And Illustrated by Don Brown.

.

My father and I settled in Africa in 1906. . . . And it was there, as a small girl, I was eaten by a lion. So begins a true story from aviatrix Beryl Markham’s autobiography. Here young Beryl and a “tame” lion called Paddy come together in an encounter that challenges our notions of wild and docile, trust and duplicity, punishment and forgiveness. Coupled with Don Brown’s expressive watercolors, The Good Lion is a powerful story that will leave readers wondering about the true natures of man and beast.
