Cat O' Nine Tales is the fifth collection of irresistible short stories from the master storyteller, illustrated by the internationally acclaimed artist, Ronald Searle, creator of Molesworth.

They feature the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know, as well as more poignant and telling characters. As a collection they confirm his position as one of the best storytellers alive today.
