Since Palaeolithic times, lions have fascinated people, and due to its gallant mane, knowing eyes, and distinctive roar, the animal continues to beguile us today. In Lion, Deirdre Jackson paints a fresh portrait of this regal beast, drawing on folktales, the latest scientific research, and even lion-tamers' memoirs, as well as other little-known sources to tell the story of lions famous and anonymous, familiar and surprising.Majestic,RB-AnimalLionLionMythologyLion in artElectronic books.Lion.LionMythology.Lion in art.599.755599.757Jackson Deirdre984679MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459457603321Lion2250133UNINA
