“If in doubt, wash!” What is it like to be a cat? Find out in this classic animal story from the renowned writer Paul Gallico.
The Snow Goose and The Small Miracle
'Did you run across that queer sort of legend about a wild goose? It was all up and down the beaches. You know how those things spring up. Some of the men I brought back were talking about it. It was supposed to have appeared at intervals the last days between Dunkirk and La Panne. If you saw it, you were eventually saved. That sort of thing.' 'Hmm, a wild goose. I saw a tame one. Dashed strange experience. Tragic in a way, too. And lucky for us. Tell you about it ...' The Snow Goose is a beautiful tale of a hunchbacked artist, a girl, a wounded bird and a courageous act at Dunkirk. Also included in this volume is The Small Miracle, a contemporary fable inspired by St Francis of Assisi. Both tales are endearing classics of the storyteller's art.

Scruffy
There is a superstition that if the Barbary Apes leave Gibraltar, the English will also leave. This story is set in Gibraltar at the start of the Second World War, and is the story of the efforts required to keep the apes in Gibraltar. The major problem is an ape called Harold (a.k.a. Scruffy), who is appallingly behaved, and who does his best to bring down the wrath of officialdom on all the apes and their keepers.
