Lynne Reid Banks's 'TIGER,TIGER' is a hugely powerful and epic novel set against the dazzling backdrop of ancient Rome.This compelling and uplifting story about friendship,brotherhood and battling against the odds will grip all who read it.
Two tiger cubs are snatched from their native jungle and shipped to Rome.On arrival at this strange land crowded with noisy "two-legs" they are cruelly separated.One cub becomes the princess's pampered and adored house pet.The other, fiercer,cub is trained to become the star
performer in Caesar's bloodthirsty circus.
Princess Aurelia detests her father's brutal "sport",but must keep her feelings secret - no one dares criticise the almighty Caesar!
The only person she can confide in is the
slave Julius,her tiger's keeper.But such a friendship is equally forbidden: should the Emperor find out,his anger would be terrible and the punishment severe.
But friendship and love cannot be dictated,and neither tiger nor man is destined for a life in chains.In a world dominated by Caesar's will,all must fight for freedom. . . . .
