The second international bestseller about Norton, the extraordinary Scottish Fold, and his human Peter - now published in the UK for the first time

There are only three things a cat needs for a fine life - good food, a comfortable bed, and universal praise and love. Luckily - after converting his human, Peter, from cat hater to cat lover - Norton has plenty of all three. And they're about to get better, as his Peter and girlfriend Janice decide to up sticks and spend a year in rural France.

Norton in Provence is like - well - the cat who got the cream, whether he is hunting for mice in the rambling garden, hanging out with the local stray cats in the sun-drenched town square or being treated to delicacies in fine restaurants. And with Norton by his side, Peter finds that his Gallic neighbours welcome their new guests with open arms.

Over the course of the year, Peter learns how to sit back, relax and enjoy the pleasures of a simple life. In A Cat Called Norton, the eponymous cat taught Peter how to love. Now, in For the Love of Norton, he teaches Peter what it is to truly live.

Praise for For the Love of Norton

Peter Gethers' trio of books about the globe-trotting Norton are witty and warm. We not only learn of Norton's sweet personality but also of the author's feelings about what really matters when it comes to love and cats
Vicki Myron, author of DEWEY

Charming, witty and winning

Witty and warmhearted - a delightful addition to the cat-fancier's bookshelf
Kirkus Reviews

This book is the cat's meow as far as global romping with a feline companion goes ... There's plenty of wit and wisdom here for anyone who enjoys travelling with a loved one, especially if its a cat
