THE STOUT-HEARTED CAT

by Alexander Frey ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 22, 1947

Apologies for reporting this (page 336) as a juvenile. But-though we thought it odd as a book for children, we think it odder as a book for adults. It's not quite fantasy, certainly not in its symbolism. Rather is it a fairy tale, in the story of a very human white cat belonging to an old woman in Central Europe, and of the cat's devotion to the son whose death the mother would not accept and who returned from a pris too late to see his mother. Adventures and misadventures, with a ""happy ending"" for an absurd and not a bit funny story. This is no Stuart Little, though there seems to be a far-fetched effort to achieve the same effect.
