LEGAL NOTE:  This original copyrighted work by John Burkitt and David 
Morris is based on Walt Disney's feature film "The Lion King."  Elements 
taken directly from The Lion King are the property of The Walt Disney 
Company.  "Chronicles of the Pride Lands" is distributed free of charge 
excepting reasonable distribution costs.  Quoting passages from our 
work, writing original pieces based partly (or entirely) on our work, or 
using characters we created is fine as long as you secure prior 
approval.  That begins by sending either of us a copy of the work.  Our 
e-mail addresses are:

John H. Burkitt:  john.burkitt@nashville.com.
David A. Morris:	damorris@wilmington.net.

Your comments on our work, pro and con, are always welcome.  We have 
been asked about our legal note.  This is our official response: "The 
copyright is maintained solely to prevent patently vulgar or lewd misuse 
of our characters.  Most any work, including parodies would be fine as 
long as it meets certain reasonably broad standards of decency.  We 
reserve the right as copyright holders to define and change those 
standards.  None of these standards is meant to force the applicant to 
be consistant with the literary style or plot of the original work."

The characters Akase, Isha, and Malaika are the property of Brian 
Tiemann.  Used with permission.

Finally, this story is a fictional work.  All resemblance to any 
characters living or dead is purely coincidental.  Well actually not.  
With love and respect, we honor those who taught us how to laugh and 
cry.  Without acting as clear models for any one character, many great 
souls, some non-human, pressed their mark indellibly on the fabric of 
our lives.
