A heart-warming novel about Kaspar the Savoy cat, from the
award-winning author of Born to Run and The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips
Kaspar the cat first came to the Savoy Hotel in a basket - Johnny Trott
knows, because he was the one who carried him in. Johnny was a bell-boy,
you see, and he carried all of Countess Kandinsky's things to her room.
But Johnny didn't expect to end up with Kaspar on his hands forever,
and nor did he count on making friends with Lizziebeth, a spirited
American heiress. Pretty soon, events are set in motion that will take
Johnny - and Kaspar - all around the world, surviving theft, shipwreck
and rooftop rescues along the way. Because everything changes with a cat
like Kaspar around. After all, he's Prince Kaspar Kandinsky, Prince of
Cats, a Muscovite, a Londoner and a New Yorker, and as far as anyone
knows, the only cat to survive the sinking of the Titanic… Michael
Morpurgo OBE is one of Britain's best loved writers for children. He has
