Adventures of Vince the Cat

Heidi Bryant was born on 11th July. She has always lived in Kent, but worked in London since she was 18 years old. She has owned cats ever since she was nine and has two cats; (Tiesto and Eivissa). Heidi always loved reading and one of her favourite books that she read time and time again - was a short story called 'The Lonely House'. She also read all of the Roald Dahl books as well as the series 'Gobbolino the Witch's cat'. Heidi went to Fort Pitt Grammar School where she started learning languages (French, German and Spanish). Heidi furthered her studies at the Open University where she graduated with an Honour's Degree in Modern Languages. Not satisfied with just the one degree, she then decided to undertake a Master's Degree in Translation at London Metropolitan University. Heidi focused on her two favourite languages; French and Spanish. In 2018, she started learning Italian. Heidi had the idea to write 'The Adventures of Vince the Cat' when she sadly lost her beloved cat Mikki to old age in summer 2018. Heidi was totally devastated and so in order to keep the memories of her beautiful cats past and present - she decided to start writing adventure stories with the cats as the main characters. Having travelled extensively (without the cats!) through her work and personal life she has now combined her love of cats, her passion for languages and travel into these stories. Heidi's hope is that children will love reading these stories time and time again. She would like to inspire children to want to learn about cats (of course!), the wonderful world in which we live, foreign languages, cultures and customs.

"Que maravilla!"What a wonderful story. I've been waiting for this book to come out and have been lucky enough to see a sneak preview before its release. My daughter can't wait to start learning Spanish and this is the perfect introduction...(Sebastian R.) "A much anticipated story!!"Since the first book which introduces children to the French language, we have been awaiting this new story so we can start to teach our children Spanish. They love cats and the beautiful stories in this Catnap Series. We can't wait...(Joanna) Vince the HeroVince now becomes a hero in this book rescuing a tiny kitten. Again this book explores the wonderful city of Seville and the reader can learn some Spanish in the process without feeling that they are learning. As with the previous two books, the story is entertaining, exciting and educational. I wonder where Vince will be off to next? A great read for children and adults.(JasGuin)
