What better match of author and subject than James Herriot, the world's most beloved veterinarian and storyteller, and the adorable feline friends who delight so many millions of cat lovers around the world?
10 beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated cat stories, each of them a joy to read. Here we'll meet Alfred, the sweet shop cat...Oscar, the socialite cat...Moses, who was found among the rushes...Frisk, a cat with many lives...Buster, the feline retriever...Boris, one of the dozens of denizens of Mrs. Bond's Cat Establishment... Emily, who shared an old man's igloo...and Olly and Ginny, the beloved cats of the wild who lived in the log shed behind the Herriots' house, came to dinner on the outdoor retaining wall every day for years, and could never ever be enticed to venture indoors. As members of the Herriot family, Olly and Ginny get to star in three stories here.
James Herriot is one of my favorite authors. He writes from his heart. His compassionate nature and his deep understanding of the unique relationships between animals and the people who care for them bring his stories to life.
