The Lion Left Home

In Moscow, there is a commotion: a real lion is strolling peacefully through the city! People have hidden in their homes, some have climbed trees, and firefighters and police are prowling the streets!

What happened? – The lion simply left the zoo and went to the airport to fly to Africa – after all, he was told that Africa is his homeland. A dynamic, cheerful, and very modern tale about the adventures of the lion, his friend Lesha, and what homeland means was written by the wonderful Soviet writer Yuri Yakovlev. The lively and humorous illustrations by the master of book illustration Anatoly Eliseev incredibly accurately convey the character of this unusual fairy tale.
