In a delightful twist, Buff the cat shares a charming tale of overcoming laziness by befriending an unexpected ally—an elephant. Through wit and cunning, Buff narrates the amusing strategy he employed to persuade the elephant into catching mice on his behalf. This whimsical story unfolds with humor and cleverness, revealing the extraordinary friendship forged between a cat and an elephant in a heartwarming tale of cooperation and ingenuity. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

E. Nesbit (1858–1924) reinvented children's literature by letting magic walk into ordinary English life — leftover tea, railway platforms, and wishes that go wrong in the most practical ways. The Railway Children, the Bastable books, and the Psammead adventures taught young readers that wonder need not be solemn. Nesbit wrote as an adult who still remembered how children actually talk: funny, fierce, and rarely pious.
