At the far end of England is the fishing village of Mousehole, so named because of the smallness of its harbour and the narrowness of its harbour mouth. Once, a cat called Mowzer lived there with an old fisherman called Tom; and Mowzer's life was very pleasant because Tom loved her and she loved Tom. Every day they ate mouth-watering meals of fresh fish--morgy-broth, baked hake, kedgeree or star-gazy pie. But then, one terrible winter, the Great Storm-Cat came clawing and snarling and leaping at the harbour walls so that no boat could go out to fish. And soon, with Christmas coming, there was no food left in Mousehole.It was then that Tom and Mowzer set out in their little boat to try and save their village. As they crossed the harbour towards the Mousehole gap, the voice of the Great Storm-Cat rose all around them like a giant caterwauling; and Mowzer knew that either she must soothe the Storm-Cat's anger, or she and Tom must surely die. Antonia Barber tells this dramatic and moving story so well that the sweet voice of Mowzer and the fury of the Great Storm-Cat seem to sing from the page; and the strength and beauty of Nicola Bayley's illustrations bring a vivid and shimmering sense of truth to this long-ago Cornish adventure.ISBN: 9780744523539
