I he reader to the night of the great stn i born, I lis grandfather, Lear, and his m, and the fidelity of A nn, who turned executioner. ETER, the admirable cat whose brief history I am about to relate, appeared in the world on a terrible winters night. A fierce snowstorm was raging, the sleet was driving at a terrific rate through the air, and the streets were banked up with snow-drifts. All traffic had been stopped, the roar of London was hushed, and every one who had the merest pretence of a fireside sought it on this memorable occasion. Even the shivering outcasts disappeared from the streets, and hid themselves in the holes which they called homes, knowing that Charity, when it was most needed, had gone to bed. It was a wild night in the city, a wild night in the country, a wild night at sea, and certainly a most unpropitious night for the birth of a cat, an animal which is always associated with home and hearth. The fact remains that Peter was born on the night of one of the most terrible storms on record. Within was a picture of comfort, our pleasure in which was greatly enhanced by the howling of the storm without.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Well, the capting and his missus travelled and travelled until they come to a thick forest, which was full of lions and tigers--as thick as fleas in a blanket. Well, to make a long story short, the lions attacked the capting, who says to his missus: 'Get behind me,' and outs with his sword, and outs with his gun, and outs with his baginet. The gun missed fire, the baginet bent, and the sword broke, and the lion knocked the capting down and clored him up until he hung in strips like cats' meat on a skewer. The lady climbed up a tree and fainted at the 'orrible spectickle, whence she was rescued by a tribe of friendly Indians and took 'ome to her ma. On her arrival she gave buth to a female hinfant, which was born with a mane owin' to the fite. This lady--let down your black 'air, my dear--is that female hinfant. Well, if you reads your Bible and goes to church, you know well enough that out of evil good may come. This lady now makes a 'onest livin' out of her 'air. The press of the world has spoken in the highest terms of her 'air, and not a week passes but what some new 'air lotion offers her cash down just to say that her 'air is the result of their lotion. She 's a 'onest woman and spurns away the serpints. They 've grown better since old mother Eve. The lion-'aired lady is also a hairynaut. I suppose you 've all heard o' the strongjawed woman, and how she comes down with a balloon a-'angin' on by her teeth. Well, she ain't in it with my lion-'aired lady. Last year, you may believe me or not--(it was at a Primrose fete),--she descended a mile a-'angin' on by the 'air of 'er 'ed...

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.

About the Book The action and adventure genre in fiction depicts events or a series of events that happen outside the ordinary course of the protagonist's daily life, generally accompanied by dangerous episodes and physical action. Adventure stories are quick moving, with the pace of the plot being a critical component of mood setting. Action and adventure have been common book themes since the earliest days of fiction writing. In fact, the plots of Medieval romances were comprised of a series of adventures. Action / adventure fiction often overlaps with other genres, such as: war novels, crime novels, sea stories, Robinsonades, and spy stories.Also in this Book Our titles on adventurers and explorers present the lives and exploits of people who explored or travelled the world in a pioneering way. These include naturalists, sailors, mountain climbers, dog sledders, swimmers, pilots, and underwater explorers. Their activities had profound effects on the dissemination of religion, agricultural techniques, cultural values, disease, and the establishment of colonies throughout the world.And in this Book The coming-of-age genre in literature focuses on the growth and development of a protagonist from youth to adulthood. Such stories tend to emphasize dialogue or internal monologue rather than focussing on action, and are often set back in time. Typically, the subjects of coming-of-age stories are teenagers who experience some issues or traumas during their formative years. Classic coming-of-age novels are Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen, and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
