About This Book This fairy tale was written by the world-famous Ukrainian novelist Andriy Kurkov. It is a very "Lvivy“ story, because its main characters are a lion cub, which was born in the circus of Lviv, and a mouse, which lives on Lviv‘s streets. It is a story about the fact, that the one, who has fear usually appears to be smaller than he really is, and vice versa - the one,who fearlessly saves his friend, grows in the eyes of others.
The tale was illustrated by Maryan Pyrozhok - a painter, who has been painting Lviv for a long time. In this way, the book acts like a walk through the streets of Lviv.
