Publisher's Summary

This is a classic wartime tale of a (real!) cat who made his home at the Faber offices and decided he'd never leave.

'This time we need to get you - get all of the kittens, safe out of London,' said Morgan decisively....

'To have a chance for a better life, well, let's just say, I've got an idea.'

Morgan is a young orphan who lives off scavenging - until he finds a cosy home at a famous London publishing house. Over time, he learns a trade - and soon becomes the very best book cat in the business. Then the Blitz begins. Morgan finds himself training up 20 odd kittens to be book cats, and then there is the small matter of secretly evacuating them out of London. Happily, Morgan has a plan.

Set in war-torn London, full of heart and verve.

Lovely story for all ages!

I wish this story was longer; was actually disappointed when it ended. It was both written and read so well that you grew very fond of these cats. And as someone e who worked in a library for many years, I understand Morgan's love of the printed page. Definitely a feel good book.
