A Lion Called Christian

At the beginning of this term, Room 22 was inspired by the story "A Lion Called Christian"

In the 1960's customers were able to buy wild animals from the London store "Harrods". Two young men fell in love with Christian, purchased him, tried to raise him, arranged to release him into the wild, and reunited with him. It's such an inspirational story of love and family.
