This is a very sweet and fanciful story about a human family who may have been the first to domesticate cats, thousands of years ago on the island of Cyprus, well before the Egyptians, who have, until recently, been credited as having been the first. The author has done her research, and references an ancient grave-site that was discovered on the Island of Cyprus, in 2004. The site contained human bones and the bones of a small animal believed to be a cat. From that evidence, Linda Deane has applied her wonderful imagination and come up with an entertaining story of how it might have happened. I love an exciting, adventurous story, inspired by fact, with a bonus of learning something, as well. I call the genre "edutainment" and write in that genre, too. Great book for children of any age.
