Illustrated by Paula Lawford
Captain Blackeye Finnegan was the smartest pirate with the finest ship and the cleanest crew in all the Seven Seas. His one disappointment was Patch, the dirtiest, scruffiest, smelliest cat in the Seven Seas. When the Captain decides to clean up the ship's cat, a fierce battle ensues, culminating in Patch's capture and transformation into everything his master wanted of him - well, for a time anyway. An entertaining tale, vigorously illustrated in appropriately bold watercolours.
