Mike Shuttleworth works as a bookseller at Readings Hawthorn.Here is a lovely copy of The Happy Lion in Africa by Louise Fatio, pictures by Roger Duvoisin and published by Whittlesey House in 1955 as a second printing. Two further titles by Fatio and Duvoisin, The Happy Lion Roars and The Three Happy Lions, continue the adventure. The book’s themes of empathy and the power of friendship are as fresh as when The Happy Lion first appeared, nearly 70 years ago. ber den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende Louise Fatio collaborated with her famous illustrator husband, Roger Duvoisin, on The Happy Lion.

Louise Fatio’s text is a joy to read aloud – its humour subtle, its charm powerful – while Roger Duvoisin’s pen and charcoal images are energised with splashes of tawny yellows and geranium reds. So why, as he walks the cobblestone streets, are people fainting when he says ‘bonjour’, and why are those normally so happy to see him now running away screaming? And why the sirens? Well, until one day the keeper leaves the door open, and the lion goes off to visit all those friends who greet him so warmly. He is an insouciant fellow with a ‘bonjour’ here, an ‘au revoir’ there, always enjoying the music each Sunday played on the bandstand (waltzes and polkas, mostly). A happy lion is comfortable in his zoo, far from his home, in ‘a lovely French town with brown-tile roofs and grey shutters’.
