East Doddingham Dinah was a cat of World War II, the cat of a bomber airfield, who knew things no human could ... Spartan was Granda's cat to the very last. Solomon/Satan was a cat of the sixties, a cat that brings about the battle of the sexes in a student's hostel. Goliath was a hero, who makes a boy choose another way from his father's. Buttons was a charmer, who saves traditional village cricket from the age of hi-tech. But the stories of Boss and Rama are the stangest of all, the wildest and most chilling.
