Impisi

Impisi is a story about a young male lion, called Nkosi. He is about to take over the pride when he is caught in a wire snare. He escapes but has a badly damaged leg. His is a story of loss of physical ability, confidence, self esteem and a destiny which was almost within the grasp of a strong young lion. It is the story of how that lion regains control of his life, raising himself from the very depths of despair and self pity to fulfil his potential. But this only happens because of an unlikely friendship with his long time enemy, Impisi the hyena. The story can be used to fulfil parts of the UK National curriculum in English, PSHE & Citizenship.
