Paul Gallico – Péter Horváth
Jennie, or I Was a Cat in London
Peter is a lonely boy. He wants a pet cat dearly, but he is not allowed to keep one at home. Jenny is a street feline. She hates humans. Peter and Jennie meet amidst magical circumstances. Their true friendship helps them to better understand each other and themselves.
