Old Greywhiskers
Magnus, Jon: Gamle GråmannEmilie and Max visit their grandfather and his cat Greywhiskers. But Greywhiskers is no longer happy like he used to be. He will neither eat nor drink, and shows no interest in playing. The vet says that the cat is old, and that we shall all die, sooner or later. The book gently and wisely addresses difficult and existential questions relating to life and death.
Gamle Gråmann was written at the urging of many readers of Magnus’s earlier books. It is illustrated by Anne Holt, a well-known illustrator of children's books.
