Win a copy of The Cat Who Came In off the Roof

The Cat Who Came in off the Roof by Annie M. G. Schmidt, translated from the original Dutch by David Colmer. It is a charming and funny tale about cats, friendship and learning to dare.

Cat who came in off the roof

Mr Tibble is a talented writer but is struggling as a reporter at his local newspaper. His editor is growing increasingly dissatisfied with his endless stories about cats! Then along comes Minou. She used to be a cat but after a freak turn of events is now a young woman – a young woman who likes to climb trees and roof tops, drinks milk from bowls, dislikes dogs and loves the local fishmonger.

When Tibble rescues Minoe from an angry dog and invites her in for a saucer of milk, both their lives are transformed. Grateful Minou decides to help Tibble by using her special feline powers to discover local insider information and town gossip via the cat grapevine and Tibble’s career takes off. But when he decides to take on a powerful businessman on behalf of the local cats, Mr. Tibble’s new found confidence and determination are put to the test…

The Cat Who Came in off the Roof was written by award winning Dutch children’s author Annie M. G. Schmidt (1911- 1995). Translated by David Colmer and published as part of Pushkin Children’s collection of tales for young readers from around the world. The book was published on 3rd July 2014, paperback RRP £7.99.
