Paw Prints in the Moonlight

A “wonderful” true story of a snowy night, a three-week-old kitten, and a man whose life is about to be forever changed (Margaret and Michael Korda, authors of Cat People).

When Denis O’Connor rescues a three-week-old kitten from certain death during a snowstorm, little does he know how this tiny creature will change his life forever. Against all odds, the kitten—whom he names Toby Jug—survives and turns out to be a wondrous Maine Coon cat extraordinaire. Life with Toby is never dull, and Denis and Toby embark on a series of sometimes comical, sometimes poignant adventures that bring them ever closer together. From the massive invasion of bees at Owl Cottage to the mysterious case of the disappearing tomatoes, Denis and Toby form an extraordinary bond, and the cat that no one thought would live through the night ends up altering the lives of everyone he meets.

With spectacular watercolor illustrations depicting Toby’s many hijinks, and set in the rural splendor of Northumberland, England, this heartwarming classic will be cherished by people of all ages.
