Flinders, Matthew. A biographical tribute to the memory of Trim, Pymble, N.S.W. : Angus & Robertson, 1997.

This little book was written by Matthew Flinders during his imprisonment and parole period on the island of Mauritius. It was during this time that Trim went AWOL, never to be seen again. The book is a tribute to the brave little cat who accompanied Flinders from London to Botany Bay and around Australia, and during this time Trim learnt to swim, catch a rope and rule over the dogs on board with an iron paw. Trim was also intently interested in watching the officers at their navigation, leading Flinders to believe that he was interested in astronomy. This book is an easy read and would be suitable for both adults and children.
