Description
This is the story of a Rasputin-like cat who seems to have an escape for every near-death situation
it encounters. Surviving hanging, burning and falling off a roof, what gets it in the end should be obvious.
Written and illustrated by Charles Bennett, this Victorian era
children's book was originally
published in 1860 and is re-printed here to help preserve and introduce new generations to the work of a truly gifted cartoonist.

Persons
CHARLES BENNETT is widely acclaimed. Evenlode, his ninth collection, cemented his reputation as a lyrical landscape poet of depth and passion. Together with his intriguing new pamphlet Thaw and the ground-breaking 2019 collection Cloud River, he demonstrates gifts of vivid imagery and a deeply musical imagination. His work with choral composer Bob Chilcott has seen him hailed as a memorable and mesmerising librettist. He is writer-in-residence at Wicken Fen and combines this with his duties at the University of Northampton where he leads the BA in Creative Writing. He lives on the edge of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire with his wife, daughter and Labrador.
