In The Cat Who Wished To Be A Man, the cat, Lionel, begs his master (a wizard who gave him speech in the first place) to turn him into a human.Any cat that shows up in a Lloyd Alexander book is going to be portrayed in a positive light, and will be either one of the protagonists of the story or ultimately end up on the side of the protagonist.
The bitter part? None of them know if they're alive, dead, or nonexistent.
The Rope Trick ends with the characters very narrowly escaping the bad guy's clutches, the main character finally accomplishing the thing she's been trying to do all novel, and entering a land of peace. He leaves the town in order to spend his entire life searching for a way to get back into Abidon. Instead, he is sent back to his home where everyone thinks he's a worthless layabout and no one believes he was almost a king, and a good one at that. The First Two Lives of Lukas Kasha ends with the main character saving the day, learning his lesson and being very violently torn from all the friends he's made over the course of the book including the girl he may or may not have fallen in love with, along with any influence he may have had over that world. Bittersweet Ending: Lloyd Alexander is quite fond of these. Awesome Moment of Crowning: Ops in The Arkadians. Most of his female protagonists fall under this trope in some way or another even the ones who don't show much prowess of the battlefield tend to be Plucky Girls with more wits and courage than most of the male characters. Action Girl: A staple of Alexander's writing. Works by Lloyd Alexander provide examples of: The Marvelous Misadventures Of Sebastian. Other works include The Arkadians, Time Cat, The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio, The Illyrian Adventure and the Westmark trilogy.
