Product Description
This is a full colour picture book aimed at 7-8 year olds. It has the story of Kilkenny as told by 23 different Kilkenny Cats, each of whom lives in the era which it talks about. Illustrated with striking images by artist Gemma Aloisi.
The book is narrated by a cat called Nora named after the mighty river Nore. Naturally.
Nora tells, in wonderful detail not only what it means to be a Kilkenny cat but the History of Kilkenny, with each period in the history of the city told by one of Nora’s ancestors.
The book is a very clever way of teaching the history of Kilkenny to a younger audience.
It does so in plain and simple language while at the same time filling the young readers mind with an abundance of information.
Paperback, 48 pages, illustrated in colour throughout.
