"In everything May Sarton writes, you can hear the human heart beating just beneath the surface," Washington Post Book World. This charming story, a classic of feline literature, is based on the true adventures of Tom Jones, May Sarton's cat. Before meeting his owner, he was a wild, independent street cat with no name. But one day, tired of his nomadic life, he decided to give up his freedom to try living in a house. Finally, he found one that seemed acceptable, and he loved the voices that came from within. Then began his transformation into a true Mr. Furry. This book by May Sarton is one of the most tender stories ever written about the joys and tribulations of sharing our lives with a cat.
