Nick Sharratt: The Cat and the King
The usual price $21.95 Long live the king! He was not distinguished by an imperious character or the ability to fight desperately, but that's okay, because the king had a very smart cat. And then one day the king and the cat had to look for a new home, as their castle burned down (Terrible Incident with the dragon, this sometimes happens). Now the king needs to learn all sorts of useful skills: wash clothes, go shopping and ride the bus. But what to do if the annoying fire-breathing dragon decided to visit them again?
