A wonderful new picture book version of one of T. S. Eliot's most popular cat poems from a timeless magical partnership.

We must find him or the train can't start!


All aboard as Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat, stars in the third picture-book pairing from Arthur Robins and T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's cats, set on the Night Mail train where Skimble won't let anything go wrong.

To sit alongside other classics such as The Gruffalo, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, and Spot.

'Beautifully illustrated to bring the poem to life.' Independent
