This story is inspired by a remarkable and lovable Tabby cat which just appeared one day sitting on a wall outside a house in a small village in the Yorkshire Dales.

Produktbeschreibung
This story is inspired by a remarkable and lovable Tabby cat which just appeared one day sitting on a wall outside a house in a small village in the Yorkshire Dales. The cat wouldn't leave; seemingly, he had chosen where he wanted to live. The house owner enquired, but it was as if the cat had appeared out of nowhere, so she took him in, called him Jack, cared for him and ensured he got plenty of treats (prawns were his favourite). It is true that after living comfortably in his new home for several years, Jack decided to leave to live a very different life in the wild on the outskirts of the village near a small school. It is also true that many people grew to love him dearly, miss him dreadfully and still remember him fondly and visit the little wooden bench set amongst the trees, where Jack loved spending time greeting people. Of course, only Jack can know what really happened when he lived in the wild, and he is no longer around to tell us! However, Jack, the gentlest and most courageous of cats, lived a remarkable life and had many adventures you can read about if you enjoy this one.
Autorenporträt
David Horrix is the author of several books and holds a First Class Honours Degree and a Masters's (Master of Science) in Psychology. From an early age, David has been deeply interested in the mysteries of existence, the search for meaning, and those individuals who have tried to make sense of human reality. Incorporated into this series of stories about Jack the Cat are philosophical and psychological themes from some of the world's greatest thinkers, particularly Socrates (469-399 B.C), Epictetus (55-135 C.E), Dostoevsky (1821-1881), May (1909-1994), Frankl (1905-1997) and Van Deurzen (Born 1951). However, the most significant influence on David's thinking is the writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944), particularly the truths within the classic novella The Little Prince (1943 Le petit prince). This series of tales about Jack, the cat are exciting stories to read to children or for children to read themselves. However, like The Little Prince (1943 Le petit prince), they have more profound meanings and insights that may be useful to many people of all ages. Towards the end of the book, David explains the philosophy and psychology behind the story about Jack. David hopes you enjoy the stories.
