  • TOM

    Dave Freer

    eBook (Magic Isle Press, May 28, 2016)
    Tom is a cat in trouble. The worst possible kind of trouble: heā€™s been turned into a human. Transformed by an irascible old magician in need of a famulus -- a servant and an assistant, Tom is as good at being a servant as a cat ever is. The assistant part is more to Tomā€™s taste: he rather fancies impressing the girl cats and terrorizing the other toms by transforming himself into a tiger. But the world of magic, a vanished and cursed princess, and a haunted skull, and a demon in the chamber-pot, to say nothing of conspiring wizards and the wickedest witch in the west, all seem to be out to kill Tom. He is a cat coming to terms with being a boy, dealing with all this. He has a raven and a cheese asā€¦ sort of allies.And of course there is the princess.If you were looking for ā€˜War and Peaceā€™ this is the wrong book for you. Itā€™s a light-hearted and gently satirical fantasy, full of terrible puns andā€¦ cats.
