Chris Pascoe

Christopher Paul Pascoe (born 26 April 1966) is an English author of humorous books.

His first two books 'A Cat Called Birmingham' (Hodder & Stoughton 2005)^[1] and 'You Can Take the Cat Out of Slough' (Hodder & Stoughton 2007) [1] tell the story of a disaster prone cat named Birmingham. A Cat Called Birmingham has since been translated into French and Chinese. In France, the book is entitled 'Monsieur Chatastrophe'[2]. The book caused controversy in Birmingham because it was seen as a slur on the city by a London-based author ^[2] You Can Take the Cat Out of Slough has also been released in France (October 2009), entitled 'Le Journal de Monsieur Chatastrophe' [3]

A Cat Called Birmingham & You Can Take the Cat Out of Slough have recently been released for Kindle (2011), and both have featured in Kindle's Top Ten Cat books.

In 2009, Pascoe signed with Anova, and his latest book 'Death Destruction and a Packet of Peanuts', a humorous factual/historical tour of the English Civil War battlefields and their pubs, was released on Anova's Portico imprint in July 2010. Death, Destruction and a Packet of Peanuts is to be adapted for television in 2012.

Chris Pascoe is also a columnist for the UK national magazine Your Cat.
