Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19,358
If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And it's as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation - and dark humor - toward middle age and mortality.

From the incomparable Peter Gethers comes true-life adventure featuring the author and his Scottish Fold feline, Norton - seasoned world-traveler and renowned ice-cream critic. Whether it is the trademark flattened ears of his breed or the personality quirks individual to Norton, this cat has an uncanny knack for attracting celebrity attention. Norton’s feline adventures in France are a must for the consummate cat-lover, but also great fun for those not enamored of anything feline.

When best-selling mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with 25 dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment.

Love Norton
I read the first book in 2017 and decided it was time to reacquaint myself with Norton. I loved listening to his adventures. The book was fun and humorous with many laugh out loud moments

heartwarming!
I had read A Cat in Paris, and downloaded its sequel, A Cat Abroad, for my aged mother, who has recently had to leave her home and go into care. She LOVED this book--it brought some sunshine into her life at a time that was looking gloomy.
My mother has been a great reader all her life but her failing eyesight means she is dependent on Audible to keep up with what's being published. She's a very smart critic, so if she says A Cat Abroad is great, I feel I can pass on her opinion with confidence.

Oh this was a very happy listen. I will have to get the first book. The way he talks about his cat is so heart warming and funny. What a lucky cat to have him as his daddy. Loved this book.
