Gobbolino was born a witch's kitten, but he is nice and doesn't want to harm anyone, so he wants to be a kitchen cat.

It is so monotonous, I could barely bring myself to read on, but I wanted to finish it since I knew I enjoyed it as a child. Although this book follows the same basic storyline as Williams's previous work, Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse, the tale of Gobbolino is more emotionally involving. Gobbolino tries to adjust to his life in the cave but fails to complete a single task set by his mistress. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. He escapes to look for a kitchen home but is distrusted everywhere he goes and blamed for mysterious happenings, such as the farmer's milk turning sour and the orphanage children's gruel turning into chocolate.This book has a bright orange cover that caught my eye and was about a cat with the most amazing name. Perhaps the one flaw of the book is that it is difficult to see how anyone could fail to love this little fellow. He tries to be a normal kitchen cat, first at a farm, then an orphanage, then the mayor's house, but his magic always gets him into trouble.

Gobbolino is such a cute little thing that every setback in his adventure to find a kitchen was really sad and you wished him all the best. Să te schimbi pentru cineva înseamnă că acea persoană nu te va iubi pe tine, ci rolul pe care îl joci. What made most of this story fun to read was the somewhere-inbetween-ness of Gobbolino, the kind-hearted witch's cat with blue eyes and one white paw. All he wants is to be a kitchen cat, but Gobbolino has many adventures in his journey before he finds the place where he belongs. Finally accepting his magic, Gobbolino becomes the pedlar-woman's assistant, but his good heart and unwillingness to cause pain mean he fails at every task he is set.Ursula Moray Williams was born on 19 April 1911 at Petersfield, Hampshire, ten minutes after her twin sister, Barbara. Travelling between such establishments as an orphanage, a Punch and Judy show, a princess's castle - will the black cat ever find somewhere he can settle and make his home? No one could mistake Gobbolino for a simple kitchen cat, with his sparky whiskers and magic tricks, but that's just what the witch's kitten wants to be. I prefer to believe that she simply failed to think through the unpleasant implications of Gobblino's contentment at fitting in with a family whose head wanted to destroy him merely for being what he was born to be, through no fault of his own. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged.

One kitten, Scootica, is black with green eyes (as is traditional for a witch's cat) wants to follow in her mother's footsteps and become apprenticed to a witch.
