This is a story of raging storms at sea and a cat that sings to calm the waves to bring his master home. This is a story to read to a little one wrapped up warm in bed with a hot drink and low lights as the rain lashes against the window and the wind howls through the trees.

I can well imagine this book to be a favourite of my daughters in time to come. Our copy is already well thumbed and loved.

I bought this book for my little son Gwilym and neither he nor I have tired of the story yet. He loves the illustrations, too.

This book is based on a Cornish folk tale. It is the story of a cat and his pet (a fisherman)who brave a storm to ensure that the children of Mousehole have food to eat at Christmas.

The book is beautifully written and illustrated, it really is a joy to read.
