Book description
Cat O' Nine Tales is the sixth collection of irresistible short stories
from the master storyteller illustrated by the internationally acclaimed
artist, Ronald Searle, creator of Molesworth. These twelve yarns are so
satisfying because they are ingeniously plotted, include richly drawn
characters and have deliciously unexpected conclusions. They feature the
mad, the bad and the dangerous to know as well as some more poignant and
telling characters. Many of these stories came to Archer while he was
incarcerated for two years in five different prisons, and so they have a
prison theme. Others were inspired since he was released, but all in all
they confirm his position as one of the best storytellers alive today.
