Publisher's Summary

This is the story of a small Japanese boy whose only interest is drawing pictures of cats...even while everyone else in the village is struggling to defeat a mysterious demon that plagues the countryside. Although first seen as entirely useless, it is the boy's peculiar talent that ultimately restores prosperity to the land. This haunting and enchanting folktale about finding your place in the world resonates with deep respect for and appreciation of Japanese culture.

Original music by Mark Isham.

    "Great Story with a Beautiful Production"

    The story is eerie and engaging. The music is perfectly orchestrated to fit the mood. The narrator has a captivating voice and does an excellent job pacing the tale. A first rate audiobook production all around.
