Synopsis

Tired of dodging fishwives’ brooms and carriage wheels, alley cat Skilley yearns for the comfort of Ye olde Cheshire Cheese, a popular London inn. When he hears that the innkeeper is in need of a mouser, he hatches a scheme so audacious it will surely set him up for the rest of his nine lives. Once installed at the Cheese, Skilley looks forward to a life of ease. But a resident mouse named Pip uncovers Skilley’s scandalous secret, and the desperate cat is forced to make a pact with him. The two become allies, and harmony reigns until they are drawn into an intrigue involving a tyrannical cook, a strange visitor hidden in the attic, and an evil tomcat called Pinch. The ensuing mayhem threatens the peace of Ye olde Cheshire Cheese—and the entire British empire!

Animal stories. Done well and you get something like Charlotte’s Web or The Incredible Journey. Done poorly and you cannot name for me a more annoying genre.

Recunosc am fost putin sceptica atunci cand m-am apucat sa citesc aceasta carte, pt ca stiam ca este una pentru copii, dar Dumnezeule, mi-a placut atat de mult... Cartea asta este atat de draguta, incat cred cu tarie ca orice copil (chiar si adult, dupa cum se vede) se va indragosti de ea. Mi-a amint......more

Goodreads review by Sandra on October 11, 2019

Mie mi-a plăcut mult cartea. Are destulă acțiune, cât să mențină atenția micilor cititori, are personaje care sunt ușor de plăcut, dar mai ales mi-au plăcut mesajele. Cel mai important este adresat copiilor care se simt rușinați de ei, inferiori și complexați și simt nevoia să pretindă că sunt altfe......more

Me tuvo al borde de la emoción las últimas páginas y me imagine esa marea al titilar la lámpara de gas y la comprensión de los ahí presentes. Un final, que pudiera ser predecible más no para mi; los que se visten de héroes se lo ganaron a pulso y ganaron su reconocimiento. Una lectura imperdible para......more

Mais bientôt arrive Pinch, un autre chat moins scrupuleux et bien décidé à s'assurer un confortable foyer. La situation se corse quand Skilley, déjà chargé de veiller sur ses amies......more
