Produktbeschreibung

Flea is more than a kitten; she has grown into an agile and beautiful young lady. She chats to her friend, a laughing kookaburra, in places no cat is expected to reach. This wilful madam can be naughty too and the time comes when she brings shame on her family. But her over-enthusiastic brother, Ridden, rushes to her defence. She is forgiven but then tragedy strikes her loving family. How will it all end? FLEA is a charming and funny tale that will appeal to children, those who read to children and anyone who has ever owned (or been owned by) a cat.

Autorenporträt

Dr Gerloch retired in 1999 from a career as an academic and research scientist in the field of quantum chemistry at the University of Cambridge. He is an emeritus fellow of Trinity Hall. He and his wife, Gwyneth, have since lived in Canberra, Australia. In retirement, Malcolm has enjoyed garden design, house renovation, and learning to cook in several cuisines. In 2004, he constructed a dual-manual Flemish harpsichord for Gwyneth to play and to thank her for introducing him (so late in life) to the non-scientific literature of the nineteenth and twentieth century European and twentieth century American writers. At 79, Malcolm began writing both children's and adult short stories, as well as the present account of retirement in Oz.
