The Wild Cats of Piran focuses on Europe's most magical cats in a
battle for their nine lives! In an engaging and witty, very short novel
that brings alive its setting--a charming and historically redolent
small, seaside city on the ravishing coast of the Adriatic Sea in
Slovenia--the wild cats encounter the ghosts of Piran ... and the wicked
General Rat! Join the beautiful Queen Felicia, faithful warrior Dragan,
and the feral feline family for nine tales of adventure and enchantment.
Each chapter is accompanied by a full-page stunning color illustration
by Italian artist Moreno Christe.
