They visit Egypt: 2700 BC, Rome and Britain: 55 BC, Ireland: 411 AD, Japan: 998 AD, Italy: 1468, Peru: 1555, The Isle of Man: 1588, Germany: 1600, and America: 1775. And thus begins their adventures through time. Cats don’t have nine lives, only one, but they have the ability to visit nine different lives in any time or country. Gareth, his cat, is there to comfort him and decides now is the time to let Jason in on a little secret. We treasure cats in our house and when needing a new book to read aloud at bed time, I decided it was time (ha ha) to give it a chance.Īfter a particularly vexing morning, Jason is shut up in his room feeling very sorry for himself. Fast forward several decades and my mom grabbed a copy of Time Cat when the library put it in their book sale and then gave it to us because she knew I liked the author. The one on the right would definitely have captured my imagination more. Perhaps because the copies in my library had an atrocious cover. Time Cat floated around in my awareness but for some reason I never picked it up. ![]() Fun side note, I suggested Vesper as a name for our second daughter because of loving Vesper Holly and how well Eva Green carried it in Casino Royale but it was nixed by my SO. ![]() Growing up I adored Lloyd Alexander for the Prydain Chronicles and the Vesper Holly series. ![]()
