    About this ebook

    From the forthcoming "Kings of Nowhere" story collection comes the tale of "That Aeronautic Adventuress of the Feline Genus" - Miss Kitty. A story that in many ways is a love-letter to the writers of the 19th century, from Melville to Twain and lots of places in between. Also a story about a cat. And a trapeze.

This is one such time.
