Publisher Description
When the shopkeeper gives Jenny a skinny, black kitten she has no idea who she has adopted. Fankle is no ordinary cat. The fiercely clever feline has lived six lives so far: lives of adventure, danger, fortune and poverty. He's stared down angry pirates, started a blood feud, won a war, advised an empress and leapt onto the moon. Fankle tells Jenny tales of his former lives -- with the king of pirates, in ancient Egypt and even with the Empress of China. So what is he doing living in a crofter's cottage in Orkney? This classic novel by George Mackay Brown is a rich and rewarding read for adults and children alike.

Exciting
I enjoyed reading this book and how there were stories about the different islanders and Fankle’s exciting adventures. It was a great book but it was aimed for younger children. The last chapter threw me off a little bit and I was slightly confused but in the end I realised what the chapter was about.
