... is the name of the book i just finished. not a book club read, this is one that's been plaguing me over the past couple years...it's easy and enjoyable, and yet i couldn't seem to finish it. but i finally did! and as my reward, i let myself view the youtube video that was the basis for the recreation of this biography.
here's the link to the video, with a couple interviews, so you kinda get the gist. basically, 40 years ago, these two Londoner's raise a lion cub in the city, and then send him back to Africa. there he spends time getting to know his true habitat, spending time with George Adamson, a wildlife conservationist and lion rehabilitator back in the day. after a few months spent weening Christian into a new lifestyle, the London duo heads back to Great Britain, missing and worried for Christian, their beloved pet. a year later they return to the camp where George is still raising a pride of lions, finding not only a bigger Christian, but an unforgetting one, affectionate as ever.
