Cat Called Waverley

Debi Gliori is a bestselling Scottish writer and illustrator with an international following. Among her 70 or so books are the Alfie stories, Pure Dead Magic, No Matter What and The Trouble With Dragons. Debi studied illustration at Edinburgh College of Art and is an honorary Doctor of Letters of Strathclyde University. She writes, "I’ve always loved drawing pictures, and as soon as I could write, I began telling stories. I was a lonely child and turned to books and stories to make sense of the world around me. I still do. I feel incredibly fortunate to do the thing I love best as my day job. When I’m not making books, I’m dreaming, reading, cooking, playing fiddle (not very well) and walking in the wild and the wet."  Debi lives near Haddington, in Scotland.

"An incredibly powerful and poignant tale of a cat searching for home.. beautifully illustrated... heartfelt and real, this story is based on the truth of those returning home from war, those who struggle to acclimatise and find closure. Debi Gliori is a masterful storyteller and this is stunning. This will accompany any KS2 topic on war brilliantly."
