A review by goma
The Ship's Cat by Richard Adams, Alan Aldridge
5.0
Beautifully illustrated story, quite different from what I anticipated, with some political undertones, however I suspect as a British reader I wouldn't have had those thoughts. The language is really beautiful and some of the rhymes made me smile because of how clever they were. Also, as a non native speaker but a master of English Studies, I got to learn some new vocabulary (not that I anticipate using it in real life but still that's my idea of fun). I'll surely reread it many times to fully enjoy the rhythm and both authors' talent.
