Title: great children fiction
Review: This book I read as a child when I was in Taiwan. I looked high and low for the English version, and got help at my local library and found a copy here. It is out of print now. Story is about a aging lion who was strong as before but eyesight was failing. He encountered a over-a-hundrend-old man, and got his glasses. The lion king had a ambitious subordant (a tiger) who wanted to replaced him. One day, the lion king lost his eyeglasses...... I enjoyed the part those who were loyal to the king tried (some were loyal, others wanted to gain benefits for themself) to locate a replacement for the king so the lion can be safe from the tiger. I read this book to my daughter, still, I am impressed with the simplicity it protrayed. Some of the words (translation) were not used often nowadays (orginally a French book). Besides that, it was a easy read for my almost 8 years old daughter.
