It’s spring. Dog violets, blue and white anemones
and Star of Bethlehem are in bloom. Birgitta makes a posy for Pelle and clips
it to his collar. The posy is all that the wicked cat Mans needs to stir up the
cat gang against Pelle once more. His modus
operandi is pretending to be friendly towards Pelle to draw him out.
Pelle, having lost his tail to a rat when he was a
kitten, brushes aside the continuous ridicule the wicked trickster Mans metes
out.
Now living in the city with a loving family and his
adoring Birgitta, Pelle accepts what he can’t change, and confidently tries to
get along with all the cats he meets. He
is optimistic and friendly, and interested in everything and everyone,
regardless of their differences or peculiarities.
Pelle is constantly drawn into new adventures that
seem to come thick and fast. He wants to be part of it all. He joins the
Combined Cats Community Choir, enters a quiz not knowing it’s rigged by Mans,
participates in a masquerade ball, and is taken by two boys as a ship’s cat to
a desert island and left there.
How will he return? Will he ever see his Birgitta
again?
Full of interesting animal characters that are able
to communicate with each other, this is the first English translation of this uplifting
and popular Swedish classic series. It will surely and quickly become a
favourite with young readers. The attitude of this adorable cat is a prime
example of how life can be enriched by acceptance, forgiveness, and the
enjoyment of each day.
