The Smarties Prize-winning book about one brave cat's experiences
during World War II, with an extended author biography
She made her way down the cliff, and on to the beach. At the edge of the
waves, she stopped, shaking her wet paws. She knew that somewhere ahead
was her person, but far, far away. She miaowed plaintively; stood
staring at the moving blur of uncrossable sea. She led the way to
safety, out of the blazing hell of blitzed Coventry. People touched her
for luck; feared her as an omen of disaster. Wherever she went, she
changed lives. From her beginning to her end she never wavered. She was
the Blitzcat*.*
