Author Description

A fascinating book by a man who knows more about lions than anybody else."Hammond Innes"Vivid and splendid. George Adamson and his seven lions live in a wild region of the Meru Game Reserve. It is a unique set-up, the lions are tame and extraordinarily affectionate towards him, wandering freely into his tent and often sleeping on his bed, yet nevertheless living the life of a truly wild pride, killing their own game, fighting off leonine intruders, and even mating in his presence."The Times"George Adamson is an unforgettable character. He has lived the sort of life that many dream about, but realise in their more sober moments that they would have neither the courage nor the endurance to do likewise."Scotsman
