'You don't have to shoot me', says the young lion. 'I will be your
rug and I will lie in front of your fireplace and I won't move a
muscle and you can sit on me and toast all the marshmallows you
want. I love marshmallows.' But the hunter will not listen to
reason, so what is there for a young lion to do? After eating up
the hunter, Lafcadio takes the gun home and practices and practices
until he becomes the world's greatest sharpshooter. Now dressed in
starched collars and fancy suits, and enjoying all the marshmallows
he wants, Lafcadio is pampered and admired wherever he goes. But is
a famous, successful, and admired lion a happy lion? Or is he a
lion at all? Told and drawn with wit and gusto, Shel Silverstein's
modern fable speaks not only to children but to us all! '[A]
fabulous fable ... Silverstein is merely bidding us to get away
from the noise, think a little. Reading this book about a lion from
the king of the story jungle is a good place to start'The Times 'A
quite charming, funny and most exuberant read' The Bookbag 'A
genius... his is an enduring infuence' The Times 'That rare adult
who can still think like a child' The New York Times Shel
Silverstein (1930-1999) was one of America's successful cartoonists
and children's authors, whose books have sold over twenty million
copies in thirty languages. He was also playwright, poet,
performer, recording artist, and Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated
songwriter. Published in 1963, Lafcadio was his first book.
