I have a memory of reading this book in the late 70's as a child. I think even then it was dated.
The story was about a boy who tries to befriend an escaped lion (small chance it was a tiger) who escaped and was hiding in the hollow created by a fallen tree. I think it was injured. The boy would get scraps from the local butcher to feed it. I'm pretty sure it was a British book. I think there was an orchard in the story.
This has been eluding me for years. I've never been successful googling this.
Thanks so much.
