The Mousehole Cat

by Antonia Barber

In the seaside village of Mousehole, Cornwall, Mowzer the cat lives a peaceful life with old fisherman Tom—rocking gently in his chair and sharing fresh fish dinners.

But when a fierce winter storm, the Great Storm-Cat, batters the harbour and no boats can go to sea, the village faces hunger just before Christmas. Together, Tom and Mowzer set out into the wild waves, and it may just take a cat’s calm courage to soothe the storm and save their village.
