The Lion's Masquerade A Sequel to The Peacock at Home

"The Lion's Masquerade" by Catherine Ann Turner Dorset is a delightful children's poem acting as a follow-up to "The Peacock at Home". Anticipate a grand masquerade ball thrown by the Lion, who, desiring to outshine the Peacock's previous party and maintain his royal standing, invites a host of animal characters. Each animal dons a costume that uniquely represents their inner qualities, from a Baboon's greedy attire to an Elephant's sagacious garb, filling the gathering with both color and character. During the feast, the Lion speaks, encouraging everyone to drop their flaws for fellowship, underscoring the tale's central idea of harmony and refinement, ultimately, promoting the value of community and proper behavior.
