A STREET CAT NAMED BOB: HOW ONE MAN AND HIS CAT FOUND HOPE ON THE STREET

Book ID/图书代码： 00200011B49068

English Summary/英文概要： When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet.

Yet James couldn’t resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other’s troubled pasts.

A Street Cat Named Bob is a moving and uplifting story that will touch the heart of anyone who reads it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在冷漠的都會街頭，居無定所的流浪生活中
一人一貓，依偎出打動人心的溫暖與希望

James Bowen流浪在倫敦街頭，靠著在英國旅遊勝地賣藝，過著勉強糊口的生活，他最不需要的就是養寵物…直到他遇見了貓咪Bob。
在James結束疲累的一天返回簡陋的居所時，發現一隻受傷的薑黃色貓咪蜷曲在他的家門前…這場邂逅從此改變了他的生活。
他深深的被這隻聰明的貓咪所吸引，為貓咪取名為Bob，把當時身上僅剩的20英鎊全花在治療Bob上面，之後慢慢照顧他直到恢復健康。在Bob康復之後，James讓他恢復自由之身，放他離去，並做好永遠都不會再見到Bob的心理準備，但Bob顯然有別的想法…。
這一人一貓以十分有趣的形式再度相遇後，就一直形影不離。他們一起經歷的種種冒險就此改變他們原本的生活，也漸漸治癒過往創傷在他們心上留下的傷痕…(Sandy & Eva)

’[Bob] has entranced London like no feline since the days of Dick Whittington.’---Evening Standard

’heartwarming tale’---Islington Tribune

’It was only a matter of time before a rubber stamp was used to autograph a book - but in Bob’s case, we’ll let him off. For Bob is the famous ginger moggy belonging to one-homeless busking Big Issue seller James Bowen, whose A STREET CAT NAMED BOB hit bookshop shelves last week. Fans, some bearing feline treats, queued around the block at James and Bob’s first signing at the Islington branch of Waterstones last week. The purrfectly behaved Bob signed an impressive 180 books in just two hours. You gotta be kitten me.’---Bookseller

’a heartwarming tale with a message of hope’---Daily Mail

’an instantly bestselling memoir that, beside its heart-warming tale of their friendship, offers an insight into the injustice of life on the streets that’s by turns frustrating and life-affirming.’---The Times
