Book description
When the owners of 'Prosperity' choose a little kitten to be their new
ship's cat, they think he's a girl and name him Doris! But soon Doris
finds this isn't his only problem: settling into life on board and
finding his place alongside the ship's dogs, Little Madge and Big John,
and Freda, their dotty bird, is going to be tricky. Not to mention
facing the local shipyard bully, Jasper. Can Doris find his feet in this
new world and learn to be proud to be a ship's cat? Meet a brilliant
cast of animal characters in this charming story of friendship and
belonging, with beautiful black and white illustrations throughout.
Jane has tried her hand at landscape gardening, futon making, teaching
basket weaving and soft toy making but only truly loves writing and
illustrating children's books. Jane shot to fame with the success of her
DAISY picture books, all about an irresistible little duck with big
feet. More success followed with EBB AND FLO, whose characters were
brought to life on television. Jane, her partner, and her menagerie of
rescued pets travel the Mediterranean on an ex-fishing boat - and her
adventures have provided the inspiration for many of her books. Most
recently Jane has turned her hand to fiction, with the exciting
adventures of BERYL GOES WILD and SHIP'S CAT DORIS. Jane is currently
living in France with her boat not far away.
