One summer evening the tabby kitten who called himself Jules left the farm where he was born and set out in search of Life.This exciting, amusing and enchantingly illustrated story tells of the adventures that befall him and how he becomes a witch,or rather,Catwitch. Jules is adopted by Eva Eden,a glamorous witch who was once a film star,and taught to read, write and spell - the magical kind - for Eva needs his help in the search for Alicorn,a fabulous something that will make dreams come true,although nobody knows exactly what it is. Unfortunately,Alexander Wylie,a particularly unpleasant wizard,is also after Alicorn,but while Eva only wants to return to the silver screen, his purpose is much more sinister . . . How Jules accidentally summons faeries through the television set and journeys to their realm, how he helps rescue a kidnapped faery Prince,and how our resourceful feline hero finally thwarts Wylie's evil schemes will enthrall and entertain children of all ages - not forgetting their parents.
