Pangur Ban The White Cat by Fay Sampson 5/5
Full of layers of meaning and themes of redemption and salvation, this book is suitable for both children and adults. Celtic characters come to life in Sampson’s imaginative re-telling of the Christian beliefs in forgiveness and resurrection. Non-preachy and not at all patronising, lovers of Celtic imagery will find this story entrancing.
