Produktbeschreibung

Jubilee is an amusing tale of when Sam with his family and two cats - Flea and Ridden - are invited to the Queen's platinum Jubilee celebration after winning a contest set by the organisation over which the Duchess of Cornwall presided. The family finally gets to meet the Queen of England and the two cats win the royal family's admiration. Not only are they awarded medals for their cute antics and for winning the contest, they make their own place on the royal balcony during the air force flypast. However, the happy memories of this event turn sour the next day when police raid the family's hotel room and arrest them all, including the cats, for not following quarantine procedures. The cats are to be taken away for three months and the family can only beg the Queen to confirm their reason for being in the country. In a comical twist comes the family's salvation. Read on to find out what it is.

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.
