Delilah Alone
Read by Brigit Forsyth
Delilah, the cat with magical powers, is used to being in complete control but when her owners go on holiday without her, she sets off on a journey to the city that stretches all her powers. If only humans responded to her shrinking powers as readily as dogs, life would be far simpler. Nimmo's cat's-eye view of life is full of appealing and convincing details but delivering cattish. observations overtaxes the human reader making for irritating listening except for the most devoted of cat lovers.
