The Mousehole Cat is a children's book written by Antonia Barber and illustrated by Nicola Bayley. Based on the legend of Cornish fisherman Tom Bawcock and the stargazy pie, it tells the tale of a cat who goes with its owner on a fishing expedition in rough seas. The book has won awards, including the 1991 British Book Award for Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. It has since been adapted into a 1994 animated film, a puppet show and is being adapted as a stage musical.
