When the last tiger is captured by human hunters, he realises that it is more important to be free than to be strong...
Strong and proud, the tiger is lord of the jungle, but all his strength and boldness cannot keep him safe from the human hunters. In captivity, the tiger realises that what really matters is not strength or power, but freedom.
Moving, thought-provoking and superbly illustrated by an award-winning picture book creator - this is an important fable for our time.
An incredible story about a Tiger in captivity who only escapes when he has become so thin that he can get through the bars of his cage. He decides that he will never let a man see him again.
