Jennie

By Paul Gallico

Published by Michael Joseph: London 1957

"Jennie by Paul Gallico is a tender, imaginative novel that blends realism with quiet fantasy, telling the story of a lonely young boy, Peter, who forms an extraordinary friendship with a cat named Jennie. After an accident leaves Peter injured and drifting through the streets of London, he encounters Jennie, a wise and fiercely independent cat who becomes his guide and companion through a hidden world on the margins of human society. Gallico writes with remarkable sensitivity, capturing the vulnerability of childhood, the ache of abandonment, and the profound comfort found in unexpected companionship, all rendered in prose that is simple, lyrical, and emotionally precise.

As Peter and Jennie navigate hunger, danger, and fleeting moments of kindness, the novel gradually deepens into a meditation on loyalty, sacrifice, and the boundary between innocence and experience. Jennie herself emerges as one of Gallico's most memorable creations—spirited, compassionate, and quietly heroic—embodying resilience in the face of hardship. First published in 1950, Jennie has long been regarded as one of Gallico's finest works, a story that resonates across generations through its warmth and understated moral power. This book would particularly appeal to admirers of classic mid-20th-century fiction, readers who cherish animal narratives with emotional depth, and collectors of timeless, humane storytelling."
