The Cat With Iron Claws is Catherine Fisher's interpretation of the story of the fearsome Cath Palug, one of the medieval Welsh triads in which significant events and artefacts always occur in threes. Catherine's narrative voice is clear and spare, and is perfectly complemented by Nicola Robinson's 'woodcut' illustrations. Catherine's recent appointment as Young Person's Laureate in Wales makes this a very special publication for Pont readers. It's the first in our new series – The Island of the Mighty – featuring Catherine's retelling of traditional Welsh stories. Catherine Fisher was appointed Wales' first Young Person's Laureate.
