Synopsis

Deric Longden wasn't a cat lover, but from the moment he saw the tiny kitten sitting on an upturned bucket down in the garden he was hooked. Strictly speaking it was the neighbour's cat, but somehow when the rain started it seemed only natural to bring the little creature inside. Once there, it slipped so easily into Deric's and Aileen's lives that there was an unspoken agreement between all three that it had found its real home. Aileen being Aileen, it was probably inevitable that sooner or later it would spend several hours trapped inside the refrigerator, and Deric being Deric, the obvious way to thaw it back to life was to wrap it in a thermal vest that had got itself accidentally shrunk. So the cat who came in from the cold got its name - Thermal. It became another of the characters who populate the author's world, and this book is written in his customary style of gentle humour, comic solemnity and cuddly charm.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The little cat Deric Longden saw sitting forlornly on an upturned bucket belonged to the neighbours, but somehow when it began to rain it seemed only natural to bring him inside. Once there he slipped so easily into Deric and Aileen's lives that there was an unspoken agreement that he had found his real home. Little did he know that he had entered the Longden world, in which the unexpected (almost) always happens. . .

Aileen being Aileen, it was probably inevitable that sooner or later the kitten would be trapped in the refrigerator. And Deric being Deric, the obvious way to thaw him back to life was to make a little coat for him out of a shrunken thermal vest. Thus the cat who came in from the cold got his name - Thermal - and joined the wonderful cast of characters in the ongoing Longden saga.

Quatrième de couverture

When Deric Longden saw Thermal the kitten sitting forlorn on a bucket in the rain it seemed only right to take him in.

Soon Thermal had captured the hearts of Deric and his wife Aileen and they couldn't imagine life without him.It seemed only right that Thermal's finicky eating habits should be indulged, and his strange and unstinting passions for a fax machine and a withered sultana adhered to and Deric himself wondered what he did before his comprehensive and often philosophical conversations with Thermal became such a valuable and important part of his day.

Told in Deric's inimitable style, this is the charming story of how a little white cat wove his spell on a self-confessed dog lover and how the Longden's family of furry felines grew and grew...
