What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘The Cat’s Tales is a wonderful and charming tribute to our feline friends and all they bring to our lives.’ The Gothic Revival
‘The stories are short, sweet, mysterious, funny, divine or demonic, just like our beloved pets. Accompanying them are beautiful black and white illustrations of a moggy being a moggy. What more could one want in a book of cat lore? A truly enjoyable collection of stories any cat lover will fancy.’ The Bookish Pilgrim
