The Mousehole Cat
''The Mousehole Cat'' is a children's book written by Antonia Barber and illustrated by Nicola Bayley. Based on the legend of Cornish fisherman Tom Bawcock and the stargazy pie,〔 it tells the tale of a cat who goes with its owner on a fishing expedition in rough seas. The book has won awards, including the 1991 British Book Award for Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. It has since been adapted into a 1994 animated film, a puppet show and is being adapted as a stage musical.
==Plot==
One very stormy winter, none of the fishermen of the village of Mousehole in Cornwall have been able to leave the harbour for a long while and the village is near starvation. Tom Bawcock and his loyal black and white cat, Mowzer, decide to brave the storms and set sail to catch some fish. When the boat hits the storm, it is represented by a giant "Storm-Cat", which allows Mowzer to eventually save the day by soothing the storm with her purring. This purring becomes a song and while the Storm-Cat is resting Tom is able to haul in his catch and return to harbour. When they arrive back at the village, the entire catch is cooked into various dishes, including half a hundred "star-gazy" pies, on which the villagers feast.
