AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A thin black cat is adopted by a young miller whose mill is no longer working and who has barely enough money to survive. By pulling the white hairs from the cat's head his fortunes and his will are steadily restored until there is only one hair remaining. Set in the kingdom of Nomansland bordering on the mythical Ocean, the principality of Bosh and the empire of Fancy. (PB)
