Fred - Softcover

"A new paperback edition of Posy Simmond's Fred celebrates the life of her feline creation. Fred's lost none of his charisma" (Jane Doonan TES Teacher 2003-07-08)

"This is a glorious, cheering read about two children trying to come to terms with the death of their pet cat - who had a secret life as a popstar" (Junior 2007-04-12)

Fred is an adored family cat (now deceased) who slept all the time - on the ironing board, on the washing, on top of the fridge, on cars, dustbins, walls and particularly on beds - although he took a little time off to sit on laps purring and to eat. Only after his death do Sophie and Nick discover that, by night, he was the Elvis of the cat-world, Famous Fred, the most famous cat in the world, with hordes of devoted fans.
