If anyone could help;
There is three books I read as I child which I can't remember the names of so wonder if anyone on here can help me?!

1. This one was about a boy who had a kite that took him away to an island where he had to battle against something? or rescue someone? Not much to go off I know!

2. This one is quite old I think, it's about the animal kingdom and a lion (i think) that lives on a mountain that is the ruler of all the other animals. The lion is dying so each chapter tells the story of how the lion met other animals on his travels, and they all come to visit him before he dies. One chapter that sticks out is the rabbits that ran on the beach, and one kept going into the sea and drowned!

On second thought, it might not be a lion who was the leader...

3. This one was a young childrens book, about a baby prince who was kidnapped by a lion in the night and his family chased the lion out of the castle.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

@ Enzyme
Did you hear this week's In Our Time on R4?

They were talking about Gilgamesh.
