Thomas Furry

Cat Confidences Thomas Furry

This charming new book by best-selling South African author Margaret Fourie is exactly right for giving at a birthday or Christmas. It is a wry comment on our society, seen through the eyes of a parson's cat. Told in Thomas's own voice, it includes the true antics of the rectory cats; many Capetonians, especially from the Eastern Seaboard, will recognise Thomas as the famous cat of St Peter's, Camps Bay. There is, however, also a more serious side to his comments and just maybe a seed for a happier life will be sown as well. Illustrations are by local artists living in the quaint village of Hogsback, in the Eastern Cape mountains, where Thomas and his minders now reside.
