WITH LIONS BY MY SIDE
Struck down by a serious illness as a child, Paulette Lloyd Greame, the daughter of a Hungarian princess, fought her way back to health with two burning ambitions : to live in one of the wild parts of the world, and to have a lion for a pet. She has successfully achieved both. She has lived in the wildest parts of South America, and keeps, not one, but several lions as pets. For the past few years she has been farming in Kenya, but is now planning to 'disappear' in the Ituri forest, in the Belgian Congo, for a few months, though she says, 'The greatest snag to travelling is my lioness. She will be difficult, as she doesn't like long car journeys.' A brilliant linguist, she lists among her hobbies, archaeology and interior decorating.

WITH LIONS BY MY SIDE !S the Story of twenty years in the life of a remarkable woman. Struck down with tuberculosis as a child in 'old' Hungary, Paulette Lloyd Greame came back to health, bringing with her two ambitions: to live 'in one of the wild parts of the world'; and to have a lion for a pet.
This book tells how she realised both ambitions. She went to live in Kenya; and she kept, not one, but several lions as pets. They lived with her like ordinary cats—two of them would accompany her to the bathroom and were always astonished when she got into the bath; one went to the movies; one slept on her bed.
But WITH LIONS BY MY SIDE is not only the story of Romeo and Juliet, of Ting-a-ling and Kitgum, of the two Annabellas and Alexander, of the Last Straw and the Three B's. It is the story of an extraordinary woman and of the extraordinary life of adventure and variety which she has lived. Paulette Lloyd Greame is a character of singular force and originality and she brings herself vividly to life on every page of a remarkable autobiography. Vissza
