Customer Reviews

memorable characters

Thirty years later, my children still talk about this book. The adventures and the vocabulary are unique. The personalities with which Oakley invests his characters are so memorable. My grandchildren are going to be introduced to Sampson and the church mice now, in their turn. Giggles to follow.

A classic!

I first received this book when I was very young, and enjoyed it completely. Through various household moves the book was packed and unpacked with other childhood treasures, and at every unpacking I would sit down and read it again. Now as an adult I still enjoy an occasional sit down with Sampson the Cat and the rest. A clever story, suspense , and humor, combined with hilarious illustrations makes for a great read for young and old alike
