Panther in the Basement is a small book by a great writer - Amos Oz. What is dramatic is told in the simplest terms by a twelve year old boy and gives us an insight into what it must have been like to be a Jew in occupied Jerusalem in l947. We also get an insight into the adolescent problems of an intelligent and sensitive person faced with the accusation of being called a traitor.
