It is the story of a little female cat named by her owner John Ainsworth, newspaper man, Lucia. The cat and the man learn to adjust themselves to each other, on a basis of mutual toleration. The man develops an affection for the beautiful, indifferent creature in his care, but he does not deceive himself that the cat 'loves' him. She leads her own animal life in her private jungle. He leads his in the jungle of civilization. On the whole, he concludes, the cat makes a better job of living. The man's story and the cat's run parallel in many ways, and in the end it is the cat who 'liberates' the man. This is a cat story with a difference. The author never at any point sentimentalizes the relationship of the man and the animal. We believe, therefore, that thought it may be disliked, perhaps, by cat lovers it will be found true and moving by those who like cats. It was written as a result of close and continuous observation of the author's own cat, and is based on incidents in her life. Ethel Edith Mannin (1900-84), was a popular, prolific British novelist and travel writer, political activist and socialist.
