Description
The story is about a cat named Spartapuss who is a warrior queen's nephew and he is fighting against the Roman Empire. The queen is trying to get him to join her in her war against the empire, but he refuses.
Historically accurate and full of enchanting wordplay, this fanciful tale is a clever, cat-based retelling of the Boudican uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. Set in the Land of the Kitons, the adventures of the wealthy, six-clawed hero, Spartapuss, are captured through his diary entries. Queen Boudicat?his wifes aunt?has been cheated out of her kingdom by the Romans. Shes declared war and wishes for Spartapuss to join her rebel army. Warrior queens do not take "No" for an answer, even when it seems impossible for a tiny tribe of Kitons to take on the mighty Feline Empire!
