Nick Sharratt`s fabulously funny debut novel is now available in paperback. THE CAT AND THE KING tells the story of a gentle, unworldly King and his very clever cat, and is illustrated throughout in two colours with Nick`s irresistible wit and humour. The cat and the King must find a new home after their castle burns down in an Unfortunate Incident with a dragon. They choose Number 37 Castle Close, and the cat introduces the King to all sorts of new experiences, from washing-up to shopping. Then danger looms when the pesky, fire-breathing dragon makes its return.
