Ursula K. Le Guin wrote this highly acclaimed novel about a very special litter of kittens. Mrs. Jane Tabby has always longed toget away from the cramped alleys of the city. She knows it is too late for her, but she thinks her longing may be the reason her litter of kittens was born with wings. When they are old enough to fly, she sends the four kittens, who become known as catwings, out into the world to find their home. But they find that danger does not lurk only in city alleyways.

Ursula K. Le Guin's stuff is usually pretty hard to read. But that's her adult stuff. This is a cute little story about cats with wings. I have a feeling that the entire series is actually one book which she broke in the child size servings. So the ending feels a little unsatisfactory.

A children's book by one of SciFi's leading lights
