Wikipedia article
'Panther in the Basement' is a 1995 novel by Israeli author Amos Oz, published in English translation in 1998.
Plot
Oz's reminiscent novel describes the doings of a twelve-year-old boy in 1947, the last year of the British Mandate of Palestine, during the BritishZionist conflict. Young Proffy has organized a pro-Israel underground cell that proposes to blow up Buckingham Palace or perhaps 10 Downing Street. These heroic dreams are no danger to anybody, but Proffy's friendship with a kindly British soldier causes his two fellow panthers to accuse him of treason.
Film
The film 'The Little Traitor' (2007), starring Alfred Molina, is based on the book.
