An extraordinary and heart-warming story about one brave cat's experiences during World War Two from prize-winning author Robert Westall.
More than a decade after his death, Robert Westall retains his reputation as one of the most powerful writers for children. He was awarded two Carnegie Medals (for The Machine Gunners and The Scarecrows) and used his own childhood experiences of the Second World War in his books.
"Sensitive readers will realize at once that the story of Lord Gort
is one of those tales that, once begun, demands to be finished. . .
. Each of these glimpses of men and women in wartime is as perfect
as a pearl; Lord Gort's journey is the single black thread on which
the precious beads are strung." --Publishers Weekly
"Westall's writing has always been strong and vivid but he has
rarely written as confidently as this." --Times Literary Supplement
