Look insideThe Butterfly Lion
Deep in the burning African veld, a young boy rescues an orphaned white lion cub. But when the lion is sold to a circus and the friends are torn apart, how will their story end? This modern classic from Michael Morpurgo sweeps from a British boarding school to the African wilds, and from the First World War to the present day. It is a vivid and heartwarming story of friendship against all the odds.
Winner of the Nestlé Smarties Gold Award.
