I loved Daffy, the little gray kitten that Lucy Maud brings home to Cavendish, and who grows into a beautiful feline companion. I like to think that he was keeping the great author company, as she composed one of my all-time favorite stories. I was terribly sad when he was left behind (poor Daffy!), and felt for him during his traumatic surprise journey, but the happy ending brought tears to my eyes. (yes, I've a weakness for sentimental cat stories, so sue me!) The story itself is true to life, being scrupulously based upon Montgomery's own journals. The illustrations are from Janet Wilson - whose work I have enjoyed in titles such as Solomon's Tree and At Grandpa's Sugar Bush - have a lovely impressionistic quality to them. All in all, a most satisfying book, both as an animal story that can stand on its own, and as a tale about one of Canada's outstanding authors. Highly recommended!… (altro)
