Summary

Brian Blessed has a lifelong love of animals and over the years has rescued cats and dogs, horses and ponies, and even a very ungrateful fighting cock. All were characters in their own right, such as Jessie, a dog left languishing for a year at the local RSPCA, who ruled the entire household with a rod of iron, when she wasn't out harassing the local vicar. Then there was Bodger, an abused terrier cross breed nursed back to health by Brian and his wife; and Peppone, a stray cat and notorious thief, was responsible for a crime epidemic in the Bagshot area. Most of all there was Misty, a soul mate and the first Jack Russell Brian met who didn't take an instant dislike to him.

Over the years Brian has encountered more exotic animals, too, from Kali the black panther who had free run of his kitchen and the gentle boa constrictor Bo Bo who went for walks with him in Richmond Park to the female gorillas who found him incredibly attractive. Written with all of Brian's ebullience, The Panther in My Kitchen is a laugh-out-loud, life-affirming audiobook about the joy animals bring and why we should care for them.

Wonderful!

I'd listen to Brian reading the phone book, this is even better! A charming book, beautifully narrated and if I must find a fault ot would be that it is too short.

Entertaining listen with plenty of laughs

Entertaining listen that evokes many emotions for an animal lover. I went from laughing to anger to tears. I worried about buying the book in case I found it too upsetting. However, far from it. Brian paints a colourful story that’s filled with love, hope and laughter. You’ll enjoy being part of his crazy family during the read. His narration is flawless and you feel like he’s having a chat with you. A great storyteller.
