Synopsis

The variety of theme and mood, impressive technical command and characteristic element of surprise this is a writer whose work can never be taken for granted - ensure that The Cat Without E-mail will enhance an already considerable reputation. The collection revisits Brownjohn's childhood and adolescence as a 1930s' and wartime child, reflects wistfully on romantic adventures and unrealised ambitions, elegises his old friend Gavin Ewart, entertains with surreal dreams, sends up Sherlock Holmes and The Merchant of Venice and along the way humorously surveys avalanche dogs, a bug and a mosquito, and inevitably a cat without e-mail.
