When Simon, an orphaned young cat, is smuggled on board HMS Amethyst, his simple life amidst the streets of Hong Kong is transformed into an adventure fit for heroes.
Bringing joy and compassion to those on board, Simon is the only cat to have been awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal, the highest honour for animal gallantry in wartime.
Based on the true events of Amethyst’s ‘Yangtze Incident’, Able Seacat Simon’s quirky yet emotional cat’s eye narrative is sure to move and entertain all who read it.
