Poetry and fantasy so skillfully impregnate the story that a parable of haunting wistfulness emerges.
His life as a cat involves many hard lessons from companion Jennie in this excellent, sensitive story. This is one of Gallico's best works, making a perfect companion to his more famous Thomasina and telling of a boy transposed into the body of a cat by accident. In portraying Jennie, a London tabby, Paul Gallico has given us not only a cat's-eye-view of the cosmos, but also a cat immortal. Paul Gallico was a reporter in Nazi-Germany in the 30s and knows how to state a thought with clarity and immediacy. The adventures that unfolded, reminiscent of The Wind in the Willows and Peter Pan, captured me so thoroughly I knew writing was part of my destiny.
