A Cat in the Window

Derek Tangye

From Shelf: Summer reading

What would it take to risk everything, give up your job, and make the move to a simple life in Cornwall?

The second title in the Minack Chronicles, this tells in more detail the story of Derek and Jeannie's beloved ginger cat Monty. From the first moment Derek, who was not until then a cat-lover, met a tiny bundle of fur with Jeannie, through to the pet's old age when he would still walk down to the stream to make 'Monty's Leap', this is a touching story of friendship between two people and their cat.
