Summary

'I've learnt that what we want is seldom what we need, and what we need is almost never what we want.'

This is the tale of a cat wise in the ways of zen, journeying to discover a fabled ancient pine, under which infinite wisdom may be found.

Along the way he meets a vivid cast of animals: from an anxious monkey and a tortoise tired of life to a tiger struggling with anger, a confused wolf cub and a covetous crow.

But it's a surprise encounter with a playful kitten, that forces the cat to question everything ...
