Product Description
Ka, the time-travelling cat, has disappeared, leaving just one clue - a word on Topher's computer screen: R*iche mou*nt. When Topher discovers that 'Richemount' meant 'Richmond' in Tudor times, he fears that Ka is in terrible danger. Cats were tortured in Tudor England, so Topher must try to find her before it is too late. In doing so, he meets Queen Elizabeth and Doctor Dee, the court magician and astronomer, who thinks Ka can help him find the elusive philosopher's stone. This is an exciting and transporting fantasy, exploring both contemporary and ancient issues.

The Time Travelling Cat and the Philosophers Stone
My older kids were fascinated by this story which they read in class when doing the Tudors. They thought the Philosophers Stone was an invention of JKR. They learned that people once really believed in it. In this exciting story - I found it gripping - Topher and Ka, the time-travelling cat, get involved when Queen Elizabeth I orders one of her advisers, scientist and magician Dr Dee, to find the Philosophers Stone - because she wants to know how to turn base metal into gold and to live for ever. It would solve her two main problems - the succession and shortage of money. I'm impressed. Jarman puts the story into his-story. I gather this is a series. I'm going to order the set.
