The Happy Lion Résumé

The Happy Lion Roger Duvoisin

A wonderful feel good message about learning who you are, and finding happiness and a real friend. The lion at the little French zoo is a favourite of all the townspeople. Every day they stop by to feed him tidbits and say, 'Bonjour, Happy Lion.' Naturally, when the lion finds his door open, he decides it would only be proper to visit all his friendly neighbours in return. But, wait-sacre bleu! Why is everyone fleeing in terror? More than 50 years after its first publication this title is still a firm favourite, making it an ideal gift from both grandparents or those who love the retro style. Winner of the inaugural German Book Prize 1956.

The Happy Lion Avis

'This classic from 1954 has been reprinted, and not before time... Duvoisin's illustrations are exceptional, and his big-picture format would make a roaringly good present for a summer birthday.' The Times;'The timeless narrative, gentle humour, tender friendship between the lion and Francois, and the delightfully characterful illustrations are a reminder why this book is still a firm family favourite and make it the ideal gift for a new generation of readers.' Lancashire Evening Post;'A beautifully illustrated, beautifully presented work. Full marks.' Norther Scotland Papers;'Louise Fatio's timeless tale about friendship still sparkles and Roger Duvoisin's elegant illustrations are as engaging as ever' School Library Journal;`Roger Duvoisin's whimsical illustrations, in lion-like colours of tawny yellow and orange, remain irresistible.' The Washington Post
