Book Overview
In Norwich Cathedral there is a stained glass window depicting the great mystic, Julian of Norwich. In her hands she holds her book, Revelations of Divine Love, and at her feet sits possessively a regal cat the color of marmalade, staring boldly out at the world. Who was this mysterious feline who so endeared himself to Mother Julian, the author wondered. He must have a story...
The pranks of the slightly naughty but lovable cat will charm pet lovers, the tale of the little child who first loved him will touch the heart, and the language and richness of detail will transport the reader through the pungent streets of medieval Norwich and into the lives of many colorful characters. Here is an enchanting adventure for Julian followers, anglophiles, and cat lovers of all ages.Format:Paperback

A wonderful story of survival
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Whereas I initially expected a children's story, "Julian's Cat" in fact deals with a very adult subject, that of animal abandonment and survival. It is a captivating rags-to-cushions-to rags-to-cushions story of a spirited cat, Toy, whose survival instincts kick in just at the right time. The story also is a great period piece of midieval England, and the reader is literally transported to a Renaissance Faire, to witness the sounds, smells and sights of the comercial town center of Norwich, England. If I ever have the chance to see for myself the actual stained glass window depiction of Mother Julian in Norwich Cathedral, I will know the story of little red Toy, sitting contently at her feet.
