Nala's World: One man, his rescue cat and a bike ride around the globe

Product Information

Experiencing the kindness of strangers, visiting refugee camps, rescuing animals through Europe and Asia, Dean and Nala have already learned that the unexpected can be pretty amazing. I tell the story of how Nala and I met in our book Nala’s World and share how this little cat has completely changed my life. I always tried to get my own cat, Buddy, to cuddle up with me while I was reading this book, but affection is only on his terms. By his own admission they made an odd couple: “We were an unusual sight; a big, bearded tattooed bloke on a bike, with a kitten sitting on his shoulder like Long John Silver’s parrot. Knowing there are people out there like Dean, who raised money for charity with the huge amount of interest shown on social media, of his adventures, gives humanity hope!

How remarkable that the fates aligned and Dean happened upon the kitten, who he later named Nala, after Simba's (from the Lion King) childhood friend. It is an engrossing book for the combination of adventure and highlighting an issue that doesn't get as much attention as it should. A heartwarming picture book based on the incredible true story of social media sensation and round-the-world-cyclist Dean Nicholson and his trusty cat companion, Nala.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Dean on käyttänyt tunnettuuttaan hyväkseen, järjestänyt varainkeruukampanjoita ja lahjoittanut varoja eri maissa löytöeläinten hyväksi työskenteleville järjestöille. From then on it was set: Nala and Dean set out to travel the world together, learning about each other and the world we live in along the way - from discovering the problem with plastic pollution and meeting refugees to finding lots of other animals in need of help.

If you haven't been following what is really a very minor news story that's uplifting and cute, this book will not be interesting to you.

Embark on a journey around the world with Nala's World: One Man, His Rescue Cat and a Bike Ride Around the Globe. Ich kannte die beiden vorher nicht, fand die Geschichte wirklich toll erzählt und den Schreibstil sehr flüssig. Nicholson is at his best when he tells the story of a man finding a sense of purpose from an unlikely (and adorable) source…charming. Nala je jedno divno, čupavo, četveronožno stvorenje koje je imalo sreću kada je jedan Škot slučajno na nju naišao u Bosni, krenuvši na put oko svijeta biciklom. Scampering along the road was “a scrappy wee thing” that fitted into the palm of his hand, with “sharply pointing ears, spindly legs and a thick tail”.
