飞出城市的飞天猫,在山顶农庄自在的生活中思念起城市里的母亲,于是飞回城市去探望母亲。
怎料它们出生的家──贫民窟垃圾车早就被移走了,贫民窟正遭受摧毁中,在残垣瓦砾中,它们和同父异母的妹妹──小黑飞猫相遇,并一起寻找失散的母亲,短暂的相聚后,它们带着妹妹再次奔向自由。
Identical in format and length to its predecessor, Catwings , this new book picks up where that one left off. The four winged catsThelma, Roger, Harriet and Jamesare content in the country barn where they live, secretly cared for by humans Hank and Susan. But they would like to see their mother, and the dumpster where they were born. Only James and Harriet make the trip, and learn that the slums are being destroyed by demolition crews. Their mother and the dumpster have moved; instead, they find a winged kitten. After a brief reunion with their mother, who now lives amidst flower pots on an apartment roof, all three felines go to the farm. Some of this repeats the first book, such as the absence of a father, the mother who bravely, and perhaps somewhat curiously, sends the children away to a better life, and the rather dull goodness of the human boy and girl. Le Guin's graceful writingespecially of the adventurous rescue of the new member of the family and in the roof sceneis sweetly illuminated by Schindler's delicately tinted drawings. A Richard Jackson Book.
