This lovely book was a gift from a friend. The protagonist is a cat, once a stray who tells us the story of his meeting and deciding to live with a seemingly fairly lonely, caring young man. One day they set off on a journey visiting the man's old friends. Through these meetings and the ca's commentary we discover the story of the man't life and why he is suddenly trying to re-home his best friend. It is a bit too sweet, but is nicely told and was a good, chilled read.

A Stranger in Spain, H V Morton
It took me a while to get through his one. It is heavy going, but actually not as heavy as you'd expect from a travel/history book written and first published in the 1950s. Morton takes us around Spain explaining, from a very British point of view, it's history, advantages and flaws. It's funny in places (not necessarily intentionally) vivid and curious.
