Bertie grows up in South Africa and befriends a lion cub which must go to a circus when he goes to school in England. Much later, fighting in France in the First World War, he finds the lion again and takes it to England. When it dies, he and his wife make a carving of it in chalk on the hillside nearby, and butterflies gather there, giving it colour.
The Butterfly Lion was created in 1996.

Read the book!! I read it a long time ago so this might be wrong, but I do think it is right At a certain time, when the woman and boy look out the window, they see butterflies, they create a picture of a lion cub, the lion the woman talks about. When she was young she played with the lion cub but it died and the butterflies make up the picture of the cub ever since! I am really not that sure but that is what I can remember! Hope This Helps! ;)
Sure, along with the Shark Horse and the Dragonfly Snake.

Butterfly's ereces come from watching the lion's intercourse.
