The filmed-as-it-happened story of Christian the Lion is available on a US DVD!The true story of a lion cub taken from his zoo-caged parents and sold in a London department store, and bought by two of the most understanding men a lion could hope to meet. Named "Christian", this remarkably gentle and intelligent lion became a British celebrity and professional model. As he reached maturity, his owners decided to give him something he was never destined for: freedom to live as a wild lion in Africa. A chance meeting with "Born Free" stars Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna led to an appeal to George Adamson to take Christian and teach him how to be a wild lion."Christian the Lion" is a most extraordinary film. It was made to finance the long effort to bring Christian to Africa and establish him with a pride of lions. You will see Christian in London and in Africa, George Adamson and his brother Terrence, many lions the Adamsons worked with closely, including the huge Boy from the movie Born Free, and the ENTIRE heartwarming reunion scene you've seen on YouTube. Now an extraordinary effort has been made to bring this film to you. Derived from the best available 16mm films, hours of painstaking digital color correction and other restoration techniques combine to bring you a most enjoyable experience. This is the film of Christian the Lion as it has never before been seen on DVD in the US. |

The original US edition of this book, published 36 years ago, and LONG out of print!The true story of a lion cub taken from his zoo-caged parents and sold in a London department store, and bought by two of the most understanding men a lion could hope to meet. Named "Christian", this remarkably gentle and intelligent lion became a British celebrity and professional model. As he reached maturity, his owners decided to give him something he was never destined for: freedom to live as a wild lion in Africa. A chance meeting with "Born Free" stars Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna led to an appeal to George Adamson to take Christian and teach him how to be a wild lion.Due to overwhelming response, I have teamed with a rare book dealer to make available the full, original vintage books written by Anthony Bourke and John Rendall about Christian the lion. These hardback books are all USED former library books since the book has been out of print for approximately 30 years. Due to high demand, these books are becoming extremely hard to find. The books we have in stock show library artifacts but each book looks very good. We always carefully remove the dirty mylar library cover and professionally clean the original dust jacket. |
OUT OF STOCK. We are looking for more! |
