Now, in Peter Gethers' and Norton's further adventures, the extraordinary feline with the great Scottish Fold ears, is hightailing it to the south of France--and making pit stops all over the globe (with his favorite human, of course). As always, Norton astounds those around him with his sophisticated demeanor. In America, Norton hits the TV talk-show circuit--and finds himself on the "A" list of desirable celebrities, attending only the hottest of parties. Touring the Continent, Norton returns to Paris--and encounters five not-so-friendly dogs and a devious chef; dines in Italy, where he almost starts a war over an uneaten dinner; and becomes the most recognizable new inhabitant of Provence since Peter Mayle decided to Leave London. Along the way, Norton and his human companion face change and learn to understand the problems and the pleasure that come with growing up and growing older together. Like its predecessor, A CAT ABROAD is funny, touching, and wise. --back cover
