![]() ![]() But I was just lying there with my eyes closed. All the ladies Mother sews dresses for knew it too, and one of them was talking to Mother about it when I happened to hear, although I wasn’t meant to. For the last six months, I haven’t been able to go to school at all. ![]() They knew at school too, because I was away most of the time, coughing and always being ill. Jonathan knew that I was soon going to die. Father was Axel Lion, but he went to sea and we never heard from him since.īut what I was going to tell you was how it came about that my brother Jonathan became Jonathan Lionheart, and all the strange things that happened after that. My name is Karl Lion and Mother’s is Sigrid Lion. His last name was Lion, just like Mother’s and mine. Jonathan’s name wasn’t Lionheart from the start. I think it’s almost like a saga, and just a little like a ghost story, and yet every word is true, though Jonathan and I are probably the only people who know that. My brother, Jonathan Lionheart, is the person I want to tell you about. Now I’m going to tell you about my brother. 'I adored Astrid Lindgren as a child' Francesca Simon, author of the 'Horrid Henry' books.Chapter 1- The Brothers Lionheart Fairy tale by Astrid Lindgren Karl must summon all of his courage to help his brother prepare for the battle that lies ahead. A cruel tyrant is determined to claim it as his own, and at his command is a terrible beast that is feared throughout the land. When the time comes, he finds Nangiyala just as wonderful as he'd imagined. ![]() Heartbroken, Karl longs for the day he'll be reunited with his brother. To comfort him, Jonathan tells him stories of Nangiyala, the wonderful place he'll be going to when he dies, and where he will wait until Jonathan is ready to join him there. But Karl is sick, and knows he's going to die. There's no one Karl Lion loves more than his older brother, Jonathan, who is brave, strong, and handsome - everything Karl believes he is not. ![]()
