Can cats really be accessories to a planned prison break? Yes. In
2013, a cat was found walking into the grounds of a Brazilian
prison with saws and drill bits strapped to its belly. Can cats
terrorise humans? Yes. In 2012, a couple in Seattle had to call the
Police after their violent pet cat cornered them in their bedroom.
And when is a cat also a mule? When it's a drug mule. These, and
many more, are true stories included in the Purrlitzer
Prize-winning Cats Gone Bad. Each spread features a photograph or
photomontage of an erring feline, such as squeezed into a fridge
tucking into its contents, chewing its way through your wardrobe or
in its element dressed as a cat burglar. Along with amusing text to
accompany the image, there is also a paragraph on real-life cats
caught in the act - the kind of cats who run away when they see a
rat, are scared of mice, and steal so many of your neighbours'
possessions that you have to have a reverse garage sale to give
them all back again. Featuring a colour photo or photomontage of
each feline felon, Cats Gone Bad is a fun book of 45 funny images
and quirky real-life cases.
An inspiring tale of one man's courage and determination... Easter
1963. The end of the school holidays are approaching, but instead
of returning to school, Billy "Scratch" Hitchen ran away to sea -
he was just fourteen years old. Before the age of nineteen, he had
sailed around the world five times. "Scratch" Salcombe Boy takes us
on a wild ride around the world: from the mountainous seas off Cape
Horn, to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, from the most southerly
tip of New Zealand to the North Atlantic and Canada, from oil
drilling and exploration in Argentina to the construction of oil
pipelines in the swamps and jungles of West Africa. In 1973,
Scratch finally returned home to Salcombe in South Devon and went
on to spend the next three decades fishing in every sea area, from
Dover to Rockall. As Scratch tells the story, the reader will be
drawn to the charismatic writing and inspired by the sheer
determination of the man who overcame many obstacles, not least his
lifelong struggles with dyslexia. Without reference to any written
document or diary, the story he tells is written from the heart and
carried in his soul. Readers who delight in sea exploration and
travel, as well as vivid, well-written autobiographies, will enjoy
this fascinating life well lived.
