Written in 1914 by Beatrix Potter, The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots will be published just in time for the author's would-be 150th birthday.

When one serious, well-behaved young black cat named Miss Catherine St. Quintin - or Kitty for short - decides to go a-hunting, she gets much more of an adventure than she had anticipated. In a tale dotted with familiar faces from Beatrix Potter's other classic tales, such as Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Mr. Toad, Miss Kitty quickly finds that hunting is dangerous as she goes from predator to prey.
