Synopsis

Henrietta was just a city cat until she ventured overseas with foreign correspondent Christopher S. Wren, his wife and two children. Over seventeen years and tens of thousands of miles she became a plucky, indispensable companion for the reporter as he covered world events in Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, Ottawa and Johannesburg. Henrietta acquired a taste for caviar, survived the unforgiving streets of Cairo, jousted with exotic birds and fought against apartheid's guard dogs. Add to this mix Henrietta's explorations of airport terminals and confrontations with customs inspectors, and the result is an often hilarious, sometimes poignant account of one family's adventures criss-crossing the globe as they cope with chaos in faraway places - always with the help of their ever-resourceful cat.
