Publisher's summary

Nick has a problem. He has a cat named Horace, and cats are quite illegal on Earth. In fact all pets are illegal on Earth, and Horace has been reported to the anti-pet man. The only way for Nick and his family to keep Horace is to emigrate to Plowman's Planet.

Little did they know that, rather than the pastoral paradise Nick's father envisioned, they would land in the middle of a planetwide war against an entity known as Glimmung, a conflict in which Nick and Horace would play a pivotal role.

Nick and the Glimmung is Philip K. Dick's sole surviving young adult novel.

I enjoyed this juvenile book

I enjoyed this 1965 juvenile book. It is mildly humorous. I’m not certain how well it lines up with The 1967 portrayals of Glimmung in The Galactic Pot-Healer.

It is a nice little book that I will be giving to my grandchildren as gifts. It is one of those books you will enjoy more if you go into it with low or no expectations.
