Description
As readers of Thomas Gray, Philosopher Cat know, Cambridge don Lucas Fysst's feline friend, Thomas Gray, is no ordinary pet. It's not every cat that helps solve a centuries-old math problem with a flick of her tail. In this delightful sequel, Thomas Gray and Fysst set out to resolve a mystery of a different kind. On their way to Denmark to attend a philosopher's convention, Fysst becomes intrigued by a rather troubling rumor: that Hans Christian Andersen, who immortalized so many animals in his fables, was in fact an unrepentant cat-hater! In Copenhagen, they go on the hunt for a missing Andersen manuscript that will hopefully put this nasty gossip to rest once and for all. As with the original, Philip J. Davis's new Thomas Gray tale is whimsically written and cleverly illustrated. It is part history, part parody, and all fun, sure to gain this philosophical feline and her friend Fysst new legions of fans.
