Paperback

Author: Anthony Bourke & John Rendall

Published by: Bantam Press

In 2008, a YouTube.com film clip became an internet phenomenon. It showed the emotional reunion of two young men and their pet lion, Christian, after they had left him in Africa with "Born Free"'s George Adamson, who would introduce him into his rightful home in the wild. "A Lion Called Christian" relates how Anthony 'Ace' Bourke and John Rendall visited London from Australia in 1969 and bought a boisterous lion cub in Harrods. The three lived together in London, Christian a local celebrity, until the lion cub began to grow up, fast. How could Ace and John avoid incarcerating him in a zoo? A chance meeting with Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers, stars of "Born Free", led to Christian being flown to Kenya and placed under the expert care of Adamson. Ace and John did not return to see their lion for a year. Now, thanks to the internet age, their incredible reunion is again being enjoyed by millions. "A Lion Called Christian" tells ... more

Come Back, Como

Paperback

Author: Steven Winn

Published by: Harper Collins

The story of one man's uncommon experiences with a dog who was determined to have nothing whatsoever to do with him. Steven Winn wanted a dog for his family - for companionship, for laughter, for holidays together, and stories to tell. But when his daughter fell in love with a scraggly, man-hating terrier mix named Como from a local animal shelter, Winn got far more than he'd bargained for. Traumatized, single-minded, and clever, Como was bent on breaking Winn's sanity, his bankbook, and his heart. COME BACK, COMO is the story of one man's valiant quest to win the love of a truly one-of-a-kind dog, a creature usually thought of as man's best friend. With humor and pathos, Winn describes the exasperating but ultimately rewarding effects Como had on his family, the ordeals he and his dog endured together, and the greatest lesson Como taught him: that loving a dog can make us more human.
