This delightfully comic story was not published in Potter's lifetime and this is the first time it is available as a tale in its own right. Written in a time very different to that ln which we find ourselves today, this story of Kitty's hunting misadventures evokes the charm of British country living in the early 20th century. In her classic style, Potter brings humour to her characters and reminds us that although it may be a cat's natural instinct to hunt, hunting does not always come so naturally ... The story embodies the very same adventure and wit that lie at the heart of Beatrix Potter's other iconic tales. We could not be more thrilled that the incomparable Quentin Blake was inspired to complete this story with his art. His distinctive, humorous illustrations perfectly complement Potter's original story, creating a brand new classic. \- Publisher's note
