Catfoot and the Case of the Hunted Dad

Catfoot in his magic cat-suit sees his father being bundled off in a car and overhears his kidnappers tell him they're from the Secret Service and want him to go on an important mission for them. Catfoot smells a rat, but his father is soon off to stop the building of a nuclear weapon.

About the author

A British children's author whose work has been compared to that of Richmal Crompton, Alan Davidson is of Scots descent, and was born in Langholm. He was educated at Thorne Grammar School, and pursued a career in the Civil Service, before turning to editing and writing. His first children's novel was published in 1978, under the pseudonym A.D. Langholm, undoubtedly chosen to honor his birth-place. Currently, Davidson publishes under his own name, and later reprints of his earlier work reflect that change.
