Dick Grainger is growing up in Yorkshire and Maria Verzotto is in her far-off home in Monteleone in Sicily when they first hear the story of the Golden Lion—the story of a hero, a prince who wins his princess. Later, Helen Connors, the child whom Maria adopts, and Guy, her painfully loved son, will read it, too.... But there is another the Lion of Monteleone, who rules his village kingdom through extortion, kidnapping, murder. This is the Lion Maria remembers from early childhood days when, hidden in a linen chest, she hears what has become of her missing cousin—a knowledge so terrible that it haunts her all her life. Through Maria the two are linked, just as through Maria two worlds are a world of poverty and power in Sicily; of privilege and pain in Yorkshire. This 1986 Book Club Associates Hardback is in good condition. DJ.
