Synopsis "A Cat Called Waverley"

A poignant and unforgettable story about homelessness and enduring friendship from an internationally renowned picture book creator. Born in a city park, the little cat belongs to no one, until he is befriended and cared for by Donald, a soldier. When Donald is sent away to fight in a far-off war-zone, the cat waits for him to return, at Edinburgh's Waverley Station. And waits ... Travelers and railway staff name him Waverley, and look after him. But he is waiting for Donald. Years go by, until one day at last he hears a voice he knows. Warfare has drastically changed Donald's life, but when the lonely cat and the forgotten man are reunited, their world suddenly seems a brighter and more hopeful place. This is a ground-breaking picture story that introduces important social issues of homelessness, post-traumatic stress disorder, and underlines the value of pets.
