Varjak Paw: Volume 1
Über dieses E-Book
Varjak Paw is a Mesopotamian Blue kitten, who lives high up in an old house on a hill.
He's never left home, until he receives a mysterious visit from his grandfather who tells him about The Way - a secret martial art for cats.
Now Varjak must use the Way to survive in a city full of dangerous dogs, cat gangs and, strangest of all, the mysterious Vanishings.
With stunning illustrations from acclaimed graphic artist Dave McKean, this award-winning story has become a modern classic. A celebration of friendship, loyalty and difference, Varjak Paw is an adventure like no other.
