The Cat Who Came in Off the Roof

Minou is a young woman who has moved into Tibble's flat. She hates dogs, likes rooftops, loves the fishmonger, and happens to have been, until very recently, a cat. With her feline friends listening out for all the local human news, is Minou the answer to all Tibble's problems-or just the beginning of them? A hilarious, charming story of cats, dogs, and learning to dare. 'My find of the year to date... both a rousing story about how to be brave and a captivating defence of the virtues of the cat' Lorna Bradbury, Daily Telegraph 'A big, unexpected hit... The beauty here is the writing itself' Daily Telegraph 'To discover Annie MG Schmidt is to feel like the cat who got the cream - and the salmon fillet... Guaranteed to make anyone 7-plus to 107 who likes to curl up with a book and a cat purr with pleasure.' Alex O'Connell, The Times 'Enchanting ... Amusing and uplifting.' Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times 'This story is a gift to the English language and a reminder that we should not forget the wealth of tales written abroad' We Love this Book
