Description:

The charming tales of one mischievous cat from *War Horse* author and former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo. A cat's nine lives are full of adventure and excitement and none more so than Montezuma, the farmyard cat. From a young kitten to a grand old cat, he is cunning and proud while establishing his kingdom, but to Matthew, he's always loving and adorable. Michael Morpurgo, again demonstrates why he is considered to be the master story teller with this collection of stories. Famed for animal stories such as *Little Foxes*, *Shadow*, *The Butterfly Lion* and *An Eagle in the Snow*, *The Nine Lives of Montezuma* is every bit as enthralling. Michael Morpurgo has written more than one hundred books for children and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children’s Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times.
