News of the World by Paulette Jiles
News of the World : A Novel is set during the period following the American Civil War when Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, traveling through Texas earning a living by reading news to the locals, agrees to be responsible for transporting a Kiowa captive back to her people.
The captain’s rootless, solitary existence is turned upside down when he accepts a $50 gold piece for returning a young orphan to her relatives in San Antonio. Johanna’s parents and sister were killed by raiders who took the child to raise as their own and now, rescued, Captain Kidd has been tasked with returning her.
Ten-year-old Johanna, however, is not pleased to have been rescued, which meant tearing her away from the her home of the last 4 years. Johanna tries to escape at every opportunity. She doesn’t remember any English, throws away her shoes and acts as uncivilized as she can.
Yet over the course of the 400-mile journey through rough terrain, the 2 loners begin to trust each other and form a bond. When they reach San Antonio it’s clear that Johanna’s aunt and uncle don’t want her, forcing the Captain to decide whether to do his “duty” or perform another type of duty.
A Cat’s Tale by Baba The Cat, as told to Paul Koudounaris
A Cat's Tale sets out to be the history of the feline world – the origins of cats, cats’ exploits, kittys’ likes and dislikes and the evolution of cats’ relationship with their human companions. Baba The Cat relates all of this along with surprising ways that cat history parallels that of humanity.
Baba wants to differentiate true catdom from louts like Garfield, who don’t really represent the true feline world. Nor is Baba prepared to put up with cuteness. By writing about real cats, Baba, with the help of human scribe Paul Koudounaris, corrects the record and shows what feline greatness really is.
The story covers thousands of years and tens of thousands of miles which has, for too long, been ignored in favor of the myth that cats were “domesticated.” That, says Baba, is the most ridiculous mistruth of all.
Baba tells the lineage of cats from the prehistoric Felis to the role of cats as gods in ancient Egypt to the place of cats at palaces of royalty throughout the world. There were pirate cats, criminal cats and more. A fun and interesting history lesson for cat-companions and others.
