Christmas classic from the author "I need a new bum"
Christmas classic from the author of 2012 best-seller I need a new Bum!
‘One Christmas Eve, some years ago, a ginger kitten wandered along a street on the far side of town. He was hungry, and cold and wet.’
.
Bertie
McGinty finds the kitten and christens him Holy Socks. Soon
the pair is inseparable. Even after Bertie’s death, Holy
Socks sticks by his master and takes up home in the church
near his grave.
Captivated by Holy Socks as she sits in church, young Christie calls out, ‘Can I keep the cat?’ Father John, by way of answer, tells everyone the story of Holy Socks.
This heart-warming tale from Thames-based Dawn McMillan, with beautiful illustrations by Wellington artist Philip Webb, is set to be an instant Christmas classic.
