Fern von den Aufregungen der Städte leben der Erzähler und seine Frau Jeannie auf ihrer Farm an den wilden Klippen von Cornwall inmitten einer unberührten Natur. Untrennbar ist ihr Glück verbunden mit Wind und Wasser, Nachbarn und Freunden und vor allem mit ihren Katzen, deren geheimnisreichem Wesen und Verhalten, ihrem Sinn für Gefahren, ihrer Anhänglichkeit und ihren Antipathien der Bestseller-Autor Derek Tangye einfühlsam, liebenswert und humorvoll nachspürt.
The second title in the Minack Chronicles, this tells in more detail the story of Derek and Jeannie's beloved ginger cat Monty. From the first moment Derek, who was not until then a cat-lover, met a tiny bundle of fur with Jeannie, through to the pet's old age when he would still walk down to the stream to make 'Monty's Leap', this is a touching story of friendship between two people and their cat.

The fourth title in the Minack Chronicles tells the story of how Derek and Jeannie acquired two donkeys, Penny and Fred. From the first steps and learning all about donkey foibles, through to picnics in the meadows, this is a further charming instalment in the tales of the Tangye's life at Minack.
