Following the phenomenal international success of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon and The Journey,James Norbury's latest book introduces readers to a very special cat on a remarkable adventure.'I've learnt that what we want is seldom what we need,and what we need is almost never what we want.'This is the tale of a cat who longed for peace,acceptance,and a way to make sense of the world. . .One day he hears of a solitary ancient pine,deep in the maple forests that shroud the valley,under the boughs of which infinite wisdom can be found. So begins a journey of discovery,and along the way he meets a vivid cast of animals,from a curious hare to a chattering monkey,a tiresome tortoise to a terrifying tiger,each with their own stories to tell.But it is only through a surprise encounter with a playful kitten that he realizes the journey has never been about a tree. . .Told in a gentle,calming style,The Cat Who Taught Zen introduces a new cast of characters for readers of all ages to fall in love with,offering timeless wisdom wrapped up into a tale of beguiling beauty.
