The Lion and The Man: A Fable

This rollicking tale of the misadventures of vain and prideful Lion at the reckless hands of arrogant and overbearing Man shows us that we still have much to learn from the ancient art of fables. As practiced by Lindamichellebaron, this elder form of storytelling is new and fresh again-as gripping and immediate as yesterday's news. Newcomer Carl Huggins' fiercely contemporary and insightful illustrations bring a brilliant and hilarious edge to this tale, one that is reminiscent of the best of today's graphic novels, while Lindamichellebaron's storytelling both demands and rewards a closer reading. Come and see what happens when an irresistible force (Man) meets an immovable object (Lion). The results are funny, instructive and deeply moving. Includes the story and a full play for classroom use.
