Myths, fables, stories, quotations
Humans are impressed by our strength and majestic appearance. That is why lions play an important role in human literature. They wrote myths, fables and other stories about us. The Kingdom of Lions presents some examples here and a few links to stories else on the Internet.
Warning: because the stories are written by humans, not all of them end in a way lions would want it.
