The Little Book of Bob

‘One thing I’ve known about Bob from the very beginning is that he possesses a wisdom that is unusual, even in cats. In the decade since we met he’s grown even wiser in my eyes. This book is a collection of the insights I’ve gained during my years with Bob.’

In the spring of 2007, busker James Bowen came across an injured ginger tom cat in the hallway of his shelter in north London. What he didn’t know was that this would be the start of a friendship that would turn both their lives around, and lead to A Street Cat Named Bob, the international bestseller that tells the story of their friendship.

THE LITTLE BOOK OF BOB is a collection of the wisdom James has learnt from Bob throughout the years, as they go through thick and thin together. From the power of friendship to staying calm and finding the joys in a simple life, let Bob be your guide on how to navigate the ins and outs of life like a wise street cat.
