A Gift from Bob

How a Street Cat Helped One Man Learn the Meaning of Christmas

De: James Bowen

Narrado por: Kris Milnes

In this poignant new story, A Gift from Bob, James Bowen recalls the last Christmas he was to spend on the streets, busking and selling the Big Issue with his cat Bob. In 2010, the weather was as bleak as his prospects. Christmas had always been the time he dreaded. Now at least he had Bob by his side, but his health was poor, and he had no money for food or warmth. There was no choice but to venture out onto the frozen streets to earn enough to pay for his electricity and - with luck - to afford some small treats for Christmas as well. What James learned through this toughest of times was to give his new life with Bob - and Christmas - a meaning it had never had before.

Gift from Bob

What a simply marvelous book. A fantastic finish to a wonderful friendship. Like my cat too!

not as good as the first two books

The narration was terrific. If you read the first two books, this book is a repeat of most of the information. This book is not as well written. I highly, highly recommend the first two books as the story is heartwarming and inspiring.

A Gift From Bob

I have read (listened to) most of the Bob stories, with a couple to go. The relationship of Bob and James is awesome. Breaks my heart their relationship ended through tragedy. Loved Bob.

The relationship between animal and human.

I liked the life lessons and the relationship between animal and human. Everybody can learn something from listening to this book.

This audiobook is fantastic

This is a heartwarming story by James Bowen about one of his adventures with the amazing Bob. Kris does such a wonderful narration that you can't help but be drawn into the tapestry. When I'm feeling a bit down, I can listen to James' story and can't help but smile.

Wonderful!

I love all the Bob books. Narrator Kris Milnes provides a good British accent for the part. You can feel the smile on his as he tells the story and talks about Bob. Very powerful at the happy ending.

Wonderful,

Brought me down memory lane. I had a Bob once.
Always traveled on my shoulders. Always slept on my pillow. James tells his story very well. I didn't mind a bit spending credits for a relatively short book. Cat person or not, you won't either.

Wonderful and Inspiring Story

The way Kris reads, it's as though James is sitting beside you telling you himself.
