| Publisher Description: Wor Peter and Wor Percy & The Great War Adventure. Ridley's had enough of great adventures. The last one nearly cost him his life. Now he never ventures far from the safety of his rock on Lord Ridley's Blagdon Estate. So when his friend, Percy the stallion, declares he's going on an adventure, Ridley is horrified. Reluctantly he travels a little way with Percy to wave him a fond farewell, but then fate deals the cat a cruel blow. To the men of the Northumberland Hussars, Ridley has become their lucky mascot. They rename him Peter-the-Rock, determined that he'll travel with them all the way. The adventure turns out to be a war, bloody and terrifying. Men find the courage they never knew they had as they fight to protect the ones they love. Peter realizes, to save his friend Percy and bring them both safely home, it's time for a cowardly cat to find the courage he thought he'd lost forever. |
