The taming of the cat
£14.99
Within the pages of ‘The Taming of the Cat’ is the adventure of a Princess who does not wish to be married. Written as a modern fairy story, this is a story about tolerance, outsiders, and non traditional partnerships. This illustrated story is accompanied with plenty of cheese, catnip, and magic feasts. There are two stories entwined: the story of Brie the mouse; and the fairytale he tells – Scheherazade-like, to Gorgonzola the cat.
Out of stock
From twice-Kate Greenaway WINNER comes an exquisite story within a story, featuring a mouse who is forced to tell stories to save his life, a cat who plans to eat said mouse as soon as the story is finished, and our protagonist’s protagonist, a princess in trouble.
Gorgonzola watched Brie with her tail twitching . . . then she pounced.
Brie the mouse is caught between the claws of Gorgonzola the cat. Desperate to survive, Brie starts telling Gorgonzola a story . . . It’s a showstopping tale – about a runaway princess, a cat that can grow to the size of a panther, an enchanted feast, a vanishing cavern and a quest to find a magical herb . . .
But Gorgonzola is getting hungry . . . If Brie wants his life to be spared, this must be the best story he has ever told.
A dazzling story within a story that you won’t be able to put down and accompanied with stunning interior art..
