With his sparky whiskers and magic tricks, no one could mistake Gobbolino for a simple kitchen cat, but that's just what the witch's kitten wants to be. Instead of learning how to turn mice into toads for the witch's brew, Gobbolino sets out on an adventure to find a family and a home of his own, encountering obstacles as he seeks a place with a farmer, some sailors, a princess, a knight, and a woodcutter. First published in 1942, this British classic for readers 9 to 12 by the author of Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse is a delightful odyssey of self-discovery, as a cat finds true friendship at last.
