The Baker's Cat

Yew · History: the Great Fire of London

London is burning. Smoke the cat has gone back inside.

September 1666. When fire breaks out in the bakery on Pudding Lane, Smoke the cat runs back into the burning building, because her kittens are still in the loft. Hannah goes after her. Now she has to carry a basket of kittens through streets full of smoke, carts and falling timber, all the way to the river.

For teachers: The Great Fire of London seen from the street: buckets, fire hooks, wooden houses and the river all turn up as things in Hannah's way.

Format: Classroom book (three episodes) and three home reading booklets.
