I personally loved this book, the book had few pages and the font was a bit bigger than the usual font ost books come in. The book was a bit short but it had an amazing story. The story was about a boy and his white lion, someday they get separated but that isn't stopping the boy from trying everything to reunite again with his friend.

Having read this way way back in the 1990's when i was making sure I knew the content of the books I was buying for my then young nephews and nieces this has since become a stock present for me to buy for people of all ages. I was trying to tot up the number of copies I have given, I stopped at 12.It is, perhaps, my favourite Morpurgo which covers much the same familiar territory over which he often flys. It deals with loneliness and love, courage and success against all the odds and revolves
Very sad (should have come with a free packet of tissues!!)
Gosh! What a lovely little story
