day-10       

Today’s reading is from The Christmas Cat by Robert Westall. The cat itself does not figure in this selection but we were unable to resist the description of the party. Westall had a wonderful eye for just how people really behave. This story is set in the north-east of England in 1934. It’s a short book, only 96 pages and really suitable for reading out loud to younger children.
