The Cat Mummy12296407I sometimes talk about my mum to Mabel, because Mabel doesnt ever get upset. Verity adores her cat, Mabel, and is desperately sad when she dies. Remembering her recent school lessons about the Ancient Egyptians, Verity decides to mummify Mabel and keep her hidden. Veritys dad and grandparents cant bear to talk about death, having lost Veritys mum in childbirth, but when they eventually discover what Verity has done with Mabel, the whole family learns that its time to talk. A superb handling of bereavement in Wilsons uniquely accessible and enjoyable style.
