Will and Nill are very hungry cats. Nill dozes, dreaming about food, while his friend Will goes off to play hide and seek with his new friend, the sparrow. If he stays with Nill, his stomach will rumble and grumble with hunger. If he plays, he will forget. As Nill continues to sleep, still hungry, Will finds some very smelly treasure.

Will and Nill is a beautifully illustrated story about both the nature of cats and the nature of humans. Told with wit and affection, it explores whether you should accept what you’re given (or not given). And how sometimes, by just deciding to have some fun and making a little effort, you can find what you wanted in unexpected places.
