Here's the book that started it all--Lloyd Alexander's first fantasy for young readers--back in hardcover!

Gareth's definitely not an ordinary cat. For one thing, he can talk. For another, he's got the power to travel through time--

"Anywhere, any time, any country, any century," Gareth tells Jason. And in the wink of a very special cat's eye, they're off. From ancient Egypt to Japan, the land of young Leonardo da Vinci to the town of a woman accused of witchcraft, Jason and Gareth are whisked from place to place and friend to foe.

Full of fun, excitement, and a good dose of history, here's a fantastic tale that grabs the imagination and takes it far and wide, on the adventure of not one but nine amazing lifetimes.
