Am äußersten Ende Englands liegt der kleine Fischerort Mousehole. Dort führt die Katze Mauzel ein beschauliches Leben zusammen mit dem Fischer Tom. In einem strengen Winter aber kommt Aufregung in Mauzels Leben. Der "Mächtige Sturmkater" bedroht fauchend und brüllend den Hafen, und als Mauzel mit Tom aufs offene Meer hinausfährt, erhebt der Sturmkater seine vernichtende Pranke gegen die beiden. Nun gibt es nur noch eine Chance - Mauzel muß versuchen, seinen Zorn zu besänftigen...
The dramatic and moving Cornish tale of Mowzer, the cat, and Tom, the old fisherman, who brave the fury of the Great Storm Cat to try and save their village.
A picture book favourite, this is the dramatic and moving Cornish tale of a cat and a fisherman who brave the stormy seas to save their village.
This is the stunningly illustrated story of the seaside village of Mousehole Cornwall, where Mowzer the cat lives happily with old fisherman Tom - Tom who rocks the rocking chair just right, and catches fresh fish for dinner every night. Their life is a happy one - until one terrible winter, the Great Storm-Cat comes clawing and snarling and leaping at the harbour walls, so that no boat can go out to sea to fish. Soon, with Christmas coming, there is no food left in Mousehole. It is then that Mowzer and Tom set out to brave the fury of the waves together, and discover that it might just need a cat's perspective to understand - and tame - the ferocious ways of the Great Storm-Cat sea... Gently yet powerfully told, this incredibly moving story of bravery, sacrifice and companionship inspired by Cornish legend is sure to connect w ith readers of all ages, new and old alike.
