One winter's day a train brings Oscar the Magic Storyteller to town, and no-one is more excited than the Lion who stands proudly in the park.
He may appear to be just a statue, but this Lion is different! He feels sure Oscar will visit him and tell the Lion’s own story, about his homeland far away and the adventures he had on the journey to a new life. But when a heartless villain threatens to end the joy of stories, the Lion realises the only chance his tale will ever be told is to do what a lion does best – roar!!
Delightfully illustrated, this imaginative story of triumph over adversity was inspired by real places and events. Children - and adults - who love the power of storytelling will find it a joyful read, stimulating interest in the classic literature of a true ‘magic storyteller’, Oscar Wilde.
Sarah Crabtree writes stories for both children and adults, and was a finalist in the prestigious Eyelands Book Awards 2019.
