A Lion Called Christian by Anthony Bourke and  John Rendall

Picture
This month's JBC novel will draw you right in and may even draw tears from your eyes. Christian the Lion is a heart stirring account of a young lion cub who spent his early life with  two young men Anthony and John.  The adventurous trio spend several months together in a London apartment where they develop an amazing bond of love and friendship.
When Christian gets too big, it is impossible to keep him confined in an apartment and so the men do the right thing and send him back to the jungle so he could be free to live in his natural environment.
Christian survives the long Journey from England into the expert hands of George Adamson in Kenya, East Africa. George Adamson was called the 'father of the lions because he had a special gift of helping orphaned animals assimilate into the wild. He did an excellent job of teaching Christian how to survive in his natural habitat. However the amazing thing was that when Anthony and John went back to visit Christian in the wild they discovered that the strong bonds of friendship had never been broken ( the picture of them here tells the whole beautiful story.)
