The Tobermory Cat
Once upon a time, in Tobermory on the beautiful isle of Mull, there lived a cat. Now, all around Mull were cats – some were wonderfully soft and woolly, some were great singers, others were experts in fishing and some were superbly sulky. Tourists flocked to see them and hear them, but in Tobermory the cats were just cats. One cat decided, though, he was going to be special to help the people of Tobermory but he found it was harder than he thought. That was until he got some very good advice from some special friends.
Reviews of The Tobermory Cat
'A charming tale for children … full of fun and beautifully illustrated, *****' — Scottish Field 'Gliori's gentle story is appealing but her clever illustrations steal the show. Full of detail , allusion and charm they can be returned to time and again. What an ad for Tobermory – and cats!' – – The Scotsman
