Reseñas de la Crítica

"You may adore kittens, but be warned: you may not cleave as closely to these strange, totally unsentimental stories about feline cunning and savagery from all over the world. Enigmatic, sinister, exotic - I loved them. The one from Japan about the boy who painted cats all over the walls of an abandoned monastery makes M. R. James about as spooky as Squirrel Nutkin." ( Sue Arnold, The Guardian)

Interesting folk stories

What made the experience of listening to Tales My Grandcat Told Me the most enjoyable?

Sean Barrett's narration is amazing as usual but that's not all there is to this book. This book offers a collection of folk stories about cats from around the world. Each of these stories portrays bits of each culture's world views and morals which is very interesting in my opinion. All that said, I don't recommend this book for very young children as some of these stories can be quite scary or harsh for them.

What other book might you compare Tales My Grandcat Told Me to and why?

Tales of the Amber Sea: Fairy Tales of the Peoples of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It's also a collection of folk stories about animals and people.

What about Sean Barrett’s performance did you like?

He has the ability to bring each character to life and narrate the stories in a calm yet captivating manner. I can listen to him for hours without getting bored.
