Nine Lives Of Montezuma, The

Description: The charming tales of one mischievous cat from Britain's best-loved children's author, Michael Morpurgo. A cat's nine lives are full of adventure and excitement and none more so than Montezuma, the farmyard cat. From a young kitten to a grand old cat, he is cunning and proud while establishing his kingdom, but to Matthew, he's always loving and adorable. Former Children's Laureate and award-winning author of War Horse, Michael Morpurgo, again demonstrates why he is considered to be the master story teller with this collection of cat stories. Famed for his other animal stories such as Little Foxes, Mr Nobody's Eyes, and of course, War Horse, The Nine Lives of Montezuma is every bit as enthralling.
