About this product
Product Information
A book that "speak s] volumes about our need for connection--human, feline or otherwise" ( The San Francisco Chronicle ), The Travelling Cat Chronicles is a life-affirming anthem to kindness and self-sacrifice that shows how the smallest things can provide the greatest joy--the perfect gift for cat lovers and travellers We take journeys to explore exotic new places and to return to the comforts of home, to visit old acquaintances and to make new friends. But the most important journey is the one that shows us how to follow our hearts... An instant international bestseller and indie bestseller, The Travelling Cat Chronicles has charmed readers around the world. With simple yet descriptive prose, this novel gives voice to Nana the cat and his owner, Satoru, as they take to the road on a journey with no other purpose than to visit three of Satoru's longtime friends. Or so Nana is led to believe... With his crooked tail--a sign of good fortune--and adventurous spirit, Nana is the perfect companion for the man who took him in as a stray. And as they travel in a silver van across Japan, with its ever-changing scenery and seasons, they will learn the true meaning of courage and gratitude, of loyalty and love.

Praise for The Travelling Cat Chronicles "Anyone who has ever unashamedly loved an animal will read this book with gratitude, for its understanding of an emotion that ennobles us as human beings, whether we value it or not."--Lynne Truss, The Guardian "It's the wisdom and stoicism of the feline narrator that makes this book such an engaging read. Like Alison Jean Lester's recent Yuki Means Happiness, it provides a fascinating insight into Japanese culture and traditions, but ultimately it doesn't matter that it's about a man and a cat. Like Of Mice and Men or The Kite Runner, Arikawa's central concern is friendship and the things we'll do for the people, or animals, that we love"-- The Irish Times "Continues the Japanese tradition of folkloric tales that celebrate simple values such as self-sacrifice and friendship. It has the warmth, painterly touch, and tenderness of a Studio Ghibli film--and is a delight to read."-- Financial Times "A beautiful travelogue."-- The Sunday Morning Herald "Like the very best cats, Hiro Arikawa's inventive tale sneaks up on you and works its way into your heart on its own terms. Once it does, it doesn't let go."--Steven Rowley, author of Lily and the Octopus "At times comic, at times poignant, their trip is one this reader will remember with fondness for a long, long time."--Philip Gabriel, translator of the English edition of The Travelling Cat Chronicles, Praise for The Travelling Cat Chronicles "Anyone who has ever unashamedly loved an animal will read this book with gratitude, for its understanding of an emotion that ennobles us as human beings, whether we value it or not."--Lynne Truss, The Guardian "It's the wisdom and stoicism of the feline narrator that makes this book such an engaging read.

Absolutely perfect. Hiro Arikawa is a masterful storyteller."--Medium "Gentle, soft-spoken, and full of wisdom."--Kirkus Reviews "Readers can enjoy the enchantment so much they just might purr."--Shelf Awareness "With wisdom, humor and compassion, in The Traveling Cat Chronicles , Hiro Arikawa tells the story of a powerful bond between a man and his cat."--Shelf Awareness, Praise for The Travelling Cat Chronicles "Anyone who has ever unashamedly loved an animal will read this book with gratitude, for its understanding of an emotion that ennobles us as human beings, whether we value it or not."--Lynne Truss, The Guardian "It's the wisdom and stoicism of the feline narrator that makes this book such an engaging read.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
