Adventures of a black cat. Summary: "A gently magical adventure in the lives of a remarkable seafaring cat (who was once a pirate) and his human friends. The tale is set in a fishing village somewhere, though it sounds very like Alaska's Aleutians, and on a cool sea both dreamlike and dangerous" From the Publisher Author Forrer, who is also a builder, commercial fisherman, and regent of the University of Alaska, has previously published the novel From the Nets of a Salmon Fisherman (Doubleday). Illustrator Forrer, who is also the author's mother, is a long-time teacher in the rural Alaska school system. With her husband Paul, Eloise Forrer is noted for helping develop successful art programs in isolated rural schools. About the Author Eric Forrer's parents spent eighteen years teaching for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and as a consequence of their employment at remote sites, he received his primary and secondary education by correspondence. He has had a varied career in boat-building, ocean freight, commercial fishing, construction, and contracting. Doubleday published his first and only novel From the Nets of a Salmon Fisherman in 1973. He was appointed to the University of Alaska Board of Regents in 1989 but managed to escape with his skin intact after a full and interesting term. Forrer, his wife Sally (for whom Bucket was written), and his son Leif live in Juneau, Alaska. The daughter of Pennsylvania Dutch parents who lived a life of employment in the trades, small business ventures, and connected family farms, Eloise Forrer graduated from the Eastman School of Music as a concert harpist. But the Great Depression, the Second World War, and her own family intervened in her career as a musician. With her husband Paul Forrer, she taught grade school at remote sites in Arizona and Alaska, and for her entire teaching career she was able to keep her harp with her. She played harp and piano regularly for students and town folk. Forrer illustrated Bucket using techniques developed by her husband during their years in the bush. The method involves colored carbon paper, a household iron, and immense amounts of time. (Location: shelf III). Eloise Forrer (illustratore).…

"A grizzled old fisherman raises a boy of mysterious origins on the shores of the spectacular, resource-rich but unforgiving Prince William Sound. Sven dubs the boy Orca, after the whales who bring the baby boy to shore, and gives him as good an upbringing as he can, teaching him the ways of the sea. Orca grows up learning to set nets and read from a first aid manual; he spends his hours listening to the tall tales of garrulous sailors and the sound of rain on water, until the crucial summer when Miss Priscilla M. Braithewaite of the Alaska Department of Social Services, Division of Child Welfare, comes to pay a call and perhaps change his life forever.
