Gobbolino - 1, 2

Why was I ever born a witch's kitten? Why - oh, why? With his bright blue eyes and sparky magic whiskers, no one could mistake Gobbolino for a kitchen cat, but that's just what he longs to be. So, while his sister Sootica learns how to ride a broomstick and turn mice into toads, Gobbolino sets off to find a nice warm fire and a family to care for him. He has many adventures along the way and makes many friends, until he finally finds the home he dreams of. First published in 1942, Gobbolino the Witch's Cat continues to delight children - a true modern classic

"Please come and help me, brother! Oh, please do! Oh, do! Oh, do!" How could Gobbolino resist a plea like that, even though it came from his wicked sister, Sootica, the wicth's cat? It nearly broke Gobbolino's heart to have ti leave his new, comfortable life as a kitchen cat but, if Sootica was in trouble, he had to help her. The road to the Hurricane MOuntains took Gobbolino and his steadfast friend, the little wooden horse, through many exciting and magical adventures - sometimes so dangerous that neither of them could be sure they would ever see home again!
