Le Guin's classic series follows the winged feline siblings across four big adventures: finding a new home in the country, returning to the city to visit their mother, befriending a wonderful orange cat, and following the youngest sibling's foray into the world on her own. But once the kittens escape, they learn that country life comes with its own difficulties-just as they learn that help and friendship can be found in even the most unlikely places. Whatever the reason, she's grateful they can use their flying skills to soar away from the dangerous, busy city where they were born. Jane Tabby can't explain why her four kittens-Thelma, Roger, James, and Harriet-were born with wings. Le Guin's bestselling Catwings chapter book series-all four books now together in a hardcover boxed set with a new look! Mrs. (Mar.Book Synopsis A litter of winged kittens flee the city and have charming adventures in legendary author Ursula K. Le Guin's graceful writingespecially of the adventurous rescue of the new member of the family and in the roof sceneis sweetly illuminated by Schindler's delicately tinted drawings. Some of this repeats the first book, such as the absence of a father, the mother who bravely, and perhaps somewhat curiously, sends the children away to a better life, and the rather dull goodness of the human boy and girl. After a brief reunion with their mother, who now lives amidst flower pots on an apartment roof, all three felines go to the farm. Their mother and the dumpster have moved instead, they find a winged kitten. Only James and Harriet make the trip, and learn that the slums are being destroyed by demolition crews. But they would like to see their mother, and the dumpster where they were born. The four winged catsThelma, Roger, Harriet and Jamesare content in the country barn where they live, secretly cared for by humans Hank and Susan.
Identical in format and length to its predecessor, Catwings, this new book picks up where that one left off.
