About this product

Product Information

A heart-warming tale of courage and warmth, set against the backdrop of the second world war, about an abandoned village, a lifelong friendship and one very adventurous cat! 'Classic Morpurgo brilliance' - Publishing News Something's up. Something big too, very big. At school, in the village, whoever you meet, it's all anyone talks about. It's like a sudden curse has come down on us all. It makes me wonder if we'll ever see the sun again. It's 1943, and Lily Tregenze lives on a farm, in the idyllic seaside village of Slapton. Apart from her father being away, and the 'townie' evacuees at school, her life is scarcely touched by the war. Until one day, Lily and her family, along with 3000 other villagers, are told to move out of their homes - lock, stock and barrel. Soon, the whole area is out of bounds, as the Allied forces practise their landings for D-day, preparing to invade France. But Tips, Lily's adored cat, has other ideas - barbed wire and keep-out signs mean nothing to her, nor does the danger of guns and bombs. Frantic to find her, Lily makes friends with two young American soldiers, who promise to help her. But will she ever see her cat again? Lily decides to cross the wire into the danger zone to look for Tips herself... Now, many years later, as Michael is reading his Grandma Lily's diary, he learns about The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips - and wonders how one adventurous cat could still affect their lives sixty years later.

Fascinating tales of a uniquely individual Cat as told by his Human!
An amusing story about a dear little cat with the very unusual name of Adolphus Tips!!I’ve never ever heard a cat with that name before, abd it was actually that which first drew me to read this book. All cats are so different in looks, behaviour,funny little ways, and are so independent I doubt you would ever find two behaving exactly the same. I’ve had 17 cats over the years and adored them all, currently down to my last little girl, a Tonkinese who will be 18 in June, but still thinks and acts like a kitten. I think she would have enjoyed meeting Adolphus,Tips, a totally different character and the true story about him will draw you like a magnet if you love cats, and if they aren’t your “thing” do buy the book and I’m sure you will find the book hard to put down, and most likely ...
