Publisher's Synopsis
Discover the town of Rugby in Warwickshire with Tommy the Learned Cat and 'The Story of Rugby Town in 15 Tail Wags', a colourful book for children ages 3 to 7 as well as their siblings and favourite grown-ups. Rugby, a bustling Midlands town, is best known for being the birthplace of the game of Rugby Football. But it is so much more than that. From reforming England's public education to inspiring the modern Olympics and Harry Potter, from being a major player in the development of the jet engine to becoming a home to the world's most powerful telegraph transmitter as well as the first international telephone call, this town in the heart of England is the king of Britain's towns. And who is best to tell its story then Tommy the Learned Cat, a smartly dressed feline gentleman whose family could be traced back to Dr Thomas Arnold's favourite pet. So sit back, make yourself comfortable, don't stick your noses, hands, feet or tails out the windows of our fun tour bus, make sure you turn your head left and right, wave at the pedestrians, smile at everyone you meet and listen. Tommy has a story to tell.
