The story of an undaunted young black cat, who leads a brave double-life defeating vile villains. 'The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots' was written by Beatrix Potter circa 1914, but wasn't published until 2016. In 2014, the manuscript was discovered, alongside mentions that she intended to complete it. However, due to WWI and personal events, it has not been made public until now. When Miss Kitty sneaks out to go hunting in her beautiful boots she gets herself into all sorts of scrapes, but on this particular night she meets the foxiest hunter of them all - Mr. Tod! This utterly entertaining tale is filled with mistaken identities, devious villains and even an appearance from Peter Rabbit. Told with Beatrix Potter's trademark dry humour and wry observations, this brilliant tale is sure to become as popular as her original classics and is illustrated by the best-loved Quentin Blake.
