The Book Cat - a character that so many readers, adults and children alike, will be able to identify from their own lives! The cat that lies on your homework, swipes pens off the table, loves an afternoon cuddle or to snuggle up at night.

Faber has created a unique story, stemming from the experiences and poems of T. S. Eliot, during the war. Written from the perspective of Morgan, a cat who has grown up in London during the war, The Book Cat follows the story of Morgan and his plight to keep as many London kittens as safe as possible, after losing his own family a few years earlier. With a little bit of training and lots of hiding - behind shelves, in teapots and balls of yarn - Morgan prepares his little kittens to take on the role of Book Cat for authors from all over London.

This story was a cute and heartwarming tale about the determination and benefits of cats during the war, especially Morgan, the well known Book Cat at Faber and Faber. This book was especially great due to its connections to T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, a book that I have loved and read many a time.
