The Butterfly Lion – Michael Morpurgo

Description

The butterfly lion is unique among animals and books, and will touch all hearts – both young and old.

Bertie rescues an orphaned white lion cup from the African veld. They are inseparable until Bertie is sent to boarding school far away in England and the lion is sold to the circus. Bertie swears that one day they will see one another again, but it is the butterfly lion that ensures that their friendship will never be forgotten.
