Book Description

Publication Date: Dec 12 2000
Fifteen years ago, a young author surprised and enchanted readers with his first novel-the story of Fritti Tailchaser, a courageous tom cat in a world of whiskery heroes and villains, of feline gods and strange, furless creatures called M'an.

The book was Tailchaser's Song, the author was Tad Williams.

The legend was born.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Fritti Tailchaser a young ginger tom not yet a full grown hunter, is the main catamong a host of appropriately named feline peersin this extravagantly detailed fantasy. When his best friend, Hushpad, vanishes, Fritti embarks on a quest to find her, and so enters the list of jousters against the evils of the world. His many trials and adventures bring him into contact with a veritable galaxy of cats, who speak a language for which a glossary is provided. This feline epic culminates in a decisive battle with an evil cat god. Creating as fully realized a habitat as that of Watership Down and other imaginative animal communities, California radio personality Williams's first novel should engage the fancy of cat lovers.

From School Library Journal

YA Animal epics are popular with YAs, and this one should prove no exception. Tailchaser, an orange-and-white striped cat, journeys to find his female friend Hushpad. She, like many of the other cats, has disappeared and the Folk (cats) are worried that something is amiss. Tailchaser realizes the severety of the problem when he is captured by several large cat-like creatures and forced into slavery in a subterranean world. Tailchaser's adventures are often violent but always exciting. Williams has used the language of the animals, both the "Common Language" and the "Higher Singing," but he has included two appendixesa glossary of terms and a descriptive list of characters. A map showing Tailchaser's route will also be of great help to readers. Fantasy lovers will lose their heart to Tailchaser and his companions Pouncequick and Roofshadow.

1.0 out of 5 stars couldn't finish the book Jun 21 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is one of the few books I was unable to finish. I love fantasy and cats, and this book was a disservice to both. Perhaps the story improved after the first sixty pages, but I wasn't willing to suffer through any more of the book to find out.
