The Book of the Lion Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. How does Edmund change from the beginning to the end of the story?
  2. Does the story tell a biased version of the Crusades? Why or why not?
  3. Why do you think that the story is about Edmund becoming a squire rather than a knight? How would the story be different if he were a knight?
  4. Is religion the main reason that characters go on the Crusades? What are some other factors?
  5. What picture does the book paint of King Richard? Do you see him as a just king or does he seem to have a dark side?
