The cats' Arabian nights, or, King Grimalkum

A playful twist on the classic Arabian Nights unfolds in a kingdom ruled by cats, where King Grimalkum – a sleek, jet‑black monarch with royal yellow eyes – issues a harsh edict that only dark‑coloured felines may live. The decree sends the lighter‑coated cats scrambling for safety, and soon the gentle kitten Pussyanita finds herself before the king’s judgment, her delicate balance of white and dark fur measured by unforgiving officials.

The story opens with a lively gathering of children and adults who yearn for a feline‑filled saga, prompting the inventive Lucia to craft this very collection. Through vivid illustration and witty dialogue, the book introduces a parade of cat characters – from the brave Pinky‑White to mischievous twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee – each poised to share their own whimsical tale.

Listeners are invited to step into a world where cats rule, riddles echo, and a single kitten’s brave defiance may just spark a larger adventure yet to come.
