"Before Margaret met the Pope, she lived on the streets of Rome.
She was a small cat in one of the busiest, most crowded, cities in
all Europe. Rome is the capital of Italy. Rome surrounds Vatican
City, the world's tiniest country, and home to the Pope, the Curia,
and the Swiss Guard." So begins this fifth adventure in the lives
of Margaret and the Pope. A prequel, this episode tells of the
conclave that elected the Pope who would one day meet Margaret on
the Via della Conciliazone. It turns out, Margaret was somehow
there, watching, in the Sistine Chapel as the votes were cast.
Children and adults alike will delight in this behind-the-scenes
story about love and the Church, learning not only about what popes
