Although written over forty years after the first two books about the title characters, this novel has the same old-fashioned charm. Summoned by a mysterious note, Gobbolino the cat ventures off to the Hurricane Mountains to help his sister, a witch's cat. He meets up with the little wooden horse, who joins his friend on his journey. Illustrated with black-and-white art, the story is tame but has enough suspense to interest readers.
