Jubilee

Malcolm Gerloch

Jubilee is an amusing tale of when Sam with his family and two cats - Flea and Ridden - are invited to the Queen's platinum Jubilee celebration after winning a contest set by the organisation over which the Duchess of Cornwall presided. The family finally gets to meet the Queen of England and the two cats win the royal family's admiration. Not only are they awarded medals for their cute antics and for winning the contest, they make their own place on the royal balcony during the air force flypast.

However, the happy memories of this event turn sour the next day when police raid the family's hotel room and arrest them all, including the cats, for not following quarantine procedures. The cats are to be taken away for three months and the family can only beg the Queen to confirm their reason for being in the country. In a comical twist comes the family's salvation. Read on to find out what it is.

About Author

Malcolm Gerloch, author

Malcolm Gerloch

Dr. Gerloch retired in 1999 from a career as academic and research scientist in the field of quantum chemistry in the University of Cambridge. He is an Emeritus Fellow of Trinity Hall. He and his wife, Gwyneth, have since lived in Canberra, Australia. During his first twenty years of blissful retired domesticity, Malcolm has enjoyed gardening, house renovation and above all, learning to cook in several cuisines. Gwyneth has relinquished the kitchen with mixed feelings. Prior to writing (mostly) children's books, Malcolm's greatest achievement has been the construction of a dual-manual harpsichord for his wife to play. That was a present to thank her for introducing him to the non-scientific literature of - mostly - the nineteenth and twentieth century European and twentieth century North American writers.
