MIRANDA AND THE CAT

Fierce, scraggly alley Cat and ragged, eager Miranda make a unique, energetic pair in a simple, but unusual cat story. Cat, who belongs irrevocably to the world of tooth and claw never gives up his wild, independent life, but he does grow to like the young girl who is so determined to be his friend. The exceptional pen and ink pictures are unsentimental and strong, forming a perfect counterpart to the realistic text.
