AN ADMIRABLE CHARACTER TAKES FLIGHT
Paul Gallico is not a novelist. His talent lies in his ability to tell beautiful and inspiring short stories that are a joy to read. The Snow Goose is one of my favorites and I have read and re-read it many times over my lifetime, each time gaining new insight into the author and his characters. At the risk of being accused of blasphemy, it is my opinion that The Snow Goose could have appeared ...

Jennie a must read
This book earned a place on my top ten list immediately upon my reading it. I can't believe I did not know about this wonderful classic earlier! It made me laugh, cry -- and sit up all night, as I could not possibly put the thing down until I finished every last delicious line. Here I sit, at work the next day, staring at the cover, hoping I can steal a glance at that last chapter at ...

gorgeous book for cat slaves
A sweet little book which will have some cat owners squirming, as they realise just exactly how far their beloved "pet" has them twisted around their little finger - er, paw. It's supposedly a manual for young cats on how to select their family and train their humans, and most cat lovers will recognise themselves as the "trainees"! The illustrations set off the text perfectly. I've found this ...

This story will inspire and move you
I had borrowed this book from the library when I was reading William Fiennes' book, The Snow Geese. He mentioned that the story had inspired him to embark on his epic journey to follow the snow geese from their wintering grounds in Texas to their breeding grounds in the Foxe Peninsula. I was so moved by this story that I had to have a copy for myself. Get this book - I know you'll be glad you ...

Three Rivers Press, 1985

A Guide on How to Manipulate Humans
This manual for kittens, strays, and homeless cats was translated by the gifted writer, Paul Gallico, after it was typed by a wise cat. The result is alternately uncanny and heartwarming. Uncanny because I recognized every ploy that my cat, Duchess, uses to wheedle from me a life of incredible comfort, and heartwarming because it portrays the wonderfully affectionate nature of cats. After you ...
