Roumieu’s Cat & Gnome Out Now!

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Graham Roumieu’s latest book is out now! Cat and Gnome, published by Blue Q, is an “awkward portrait of a one-sided relationship between a real cat and a ceramic garden gnome. Throw in characters like Reggie the snail and an exploding robot from the future and you get this hilarious tale… For anyone who ever felt like they were doing everything wrong but got a happy ending anyway.”
