The Ships Cat is an intricately and stunningly illustrated book about a stowaway cat who joins a ship crew. He becomes a success and even meets royalty! The story, written in prose, is also in beautiful font. This book, I feel, is an exceptional work of art, almost more than it is a story.

received this book before I could read it, it was beyond my level at the time. But the pictures were enough to keep me coming back to it. Once I was able to read it well, it was even better. Show Less

The adventures of the Ship's Cat - a patriotic swashbuckling crewmember of the English privateer Alcestis, taken as captive to the Panamanian port of Chagres. He steals the keys to the gaol and releases his shipmates. Together, they steal a ship from the harbor and sail for home, pursued by their erstwhile captors.
