«Le Lion» is the young-adult novel by Joseph Kessel, published by Folio Junior in paperback (284 pages, in French).
In the heart of Kenya, at the foot of Kilimanjaro, a girl named Patricia grows up among the wildlife of the great Royal Park. She has raised King, a lion she fed when he was a helpless cub and who has become her inseparable companion. The arrival of the Maasai warriors and the desire of the young Oriounga to confront King put that friendship to the test.
Work originally published in 1958, illustrated by Philippe Mignon; it corresponds to number 442 of the Folio Junior collection.
The work is aimed at young readers aged 10 and over and at those who enjoy stories about animals, nature and adventure in Africa.
