Arabella

A very shy cat, who has learned to be frightened of everything, lives all day and all night in a cupboard under the stairs. Then a bold new cat arrives. What will happen now? Will he just scare her out of her wits?

Here is the story of timid Arabella and vigorous George who persists in his plan to make friends and coax the shy one out into the open.

This rhyming, engaging tale tells of the power of kindness to cancel the terrors of the past. There is fear, overcome by gentleness and understanding. Underlying the charming story is the reality of a traumatised creature gradually learning to conquer the shadows of yesterday, and to face the future with courage and joy.
