In Chester, you will be introduced to the main character, Ms. Perry first. She decides she wants to adopt two cats named Chester and Twinkle, because her neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Carruthers are having to move into a nursing home community, and can not care for them any more. Ms. Perry enjoys four years of love and companionship with Chester and Twinkle, until she gets a new teaching job in New York City where her landlord does not allow pets. She is then faced with a very difficult and emotional decision, to surrender Chester and Twinkle to "Franklin's Animal Shelter" or give them to her brother who she believes likes dogs better than cats. What will Ms. Perry's decision be? What will be Chester and Twinkle's fate? You'll have to want to read "Chester" all the way through to find out.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
