Story
One cat. Two people. Many more problems. Twelve Autumnal tales, told with humour, mischief, and wit. Mister Pushkin was looking for peace and quiet. But trouble was looking for him. He finally discovers why he’s not like other cats. It makes life interesting at the local cat show. But it also attracts a lot of unwelcome attention. His ability to see things other’s can’t averts one disaster, only to create another. And cruelty, he realises, can sometimes be the best form of kindness.

How close would you hold those you love, when the end comes? In a society where self-preservation is as much an art as a science, Norah and Arthur are learning how to co-exist in their new little world.

But when the couple bring home a mysterious creature to seal in their loft space, they both must face a devastating truth which tests their bonds to family, memory, and each other forever.

Charming and funny stories beautifully narrated
After tending to stick to the same sort of audiobook, I loved diving into something new and a little different. The stories were charming and the narration silky yet warm.
Thank you!
