Jim Kjelgaard, an American author known for his works revolving around animals and the natural world, draws from his own experiences growing up in an environment shaped by wilderness. His love for the outdoors and commitment to portraying animals authentically informed his writings, making "Swamp Cat" a natural extension of his lifelong fascination with nature's untamed elements. Kjelgaard'Äôs ability to evoke empathy for his characters, including the animal protagonists, stems from his genuine connection to the wild, which resonates throughout his oeuvre. This poignant narrative is highly recommended for readers seeking an engaging exploration of the relationship between humans and nature.

    In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
    If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
    Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
    Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
    A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'
