The Mousehole Cat
A well-loved and beautifully illustrated picture book, narrating the dramatic and moving Cornish tale of a cat and a fisherman who brave the stormy seas to save their village.
The story is set in the seaside village of Mousehole Cornwall, where Mowzer the cat lives happily with the old fisherman Tom. They were both conducting a very happy life until one terrible winter, the Great Storm Cat comes clawing and leaping at the harbour, so that no boat could venture on the sea to fish.
With Christmas coming and no food left in Mousehole, Mowzer and Tom set out to brave the fury of the waves together, discovering that it might just need a cat’s perspective to understand – and tame – the ferocious ways of the Great Storm-Cat sea.
An incredibly moving story of bravery, sacrifice and companionship inspired by a Cornish legend.
