In his shop are maps that will lead you to whatever it is you most desire: love, inspiration, wealth. But his greatest achievement is a master-map showing the location of everything that has ever been found in the world, which he intends to give to his son, Boaz-Jachin. There is only one thing missing from the map: lions - for there are no more lions left. Or are there? When Jachin-Boaz sets out on a quest to find a lion for his son, Boaz-Jachin will follow in search of his father, and both will discover something wholly unexpected ... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Russell Hoban's first novel for adults, \u003ci\u003eThe Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz\u003c\/i\u003e (1973) was widely acclaimed by critics and earned comparisons to Tolkien and C.S.
