How lucky I was to be able to buy this wonderful book again! As I am a great cat-lover this book had enchanted me the first time I'd read it when I was still a child. I had given it away and always regretted doing so. Although it is written for children anyone who loves cats will enjoy it and learn so much about the behaviour of these beautiful animals. Obviously Paul Gallico had studied his own cats intimately and had used his observation of them to breathe life into this charming story.
