A long-awaited reissue of the much-loved sequel to CARBONEL, King of the Cats. In this second story, published over forty years ago, Carbonel has been summoned to appear before the Great Cat but before he goes he has to find someone to look after his two royal kittens. And so he tracks down his young friends Rosemary and John to help out. The kittens are very sweet - but quite a handful as the children soon discover...]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2007 22:37:14 +0200 https://historical.library.land/barbara-sleigh/99763-carbonel_the_king_of_cats.html https://historical.library.land/barbara-sleigh/99763-carbonel_the_king_of_cats.html
This is the story of a cat, a broomstick and an ordinary schoolgirl called Rosemary. She bought them both in the market, quite cheaply. Of course, neither the cat nor the broomstick were just what they seemed, and they turned up just when Rosemary badly needed something nice to happen to her. A good cat is apt to be independent, so she did not have things all her own way, and as Carbonel proved to be a Royal cat in a very special sense, that was understandable. Between the cat and the broomstick, Rosemary picked up some useful spells and magic, and the adventures they brought about turned a dull-looking holiday into one long to be remembered for its unexpected excitements and rewards.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 12:26:58 +0300 https://historical.library.land/barbara-sleigh/108372-carbonel_and_calidor.html https://historical.library.land/barbara-sleigh/108372-carbonel_and_calidor.html
"There are many kinds of magic...and once magic is in your blood it attracts more magic," says the royal cat Carbonel at the start of Carbonel and Calidor. Sure enough, Carbonel's human friends Rosemary and John soon encounter magic in the form of a ring set with a fiery red stone that grants wishes to whoever wears it. And it's a lucky thing, too, because Carbonel needs Rosemary and John's help. It seems that his son Calidor has rejected his princely status for the love of a streetwise cat named Wellingtonia (also known as Dumpsie). Even worse, Calidor has apprenticed himself to the witch-in-training Mrs. Dibdin. With all this going on, it's just a matter of time before Carbonel's old nemesis Grisana--accompanied by her slyboots daughter Melissa--hatches a plan to take control of Carbonel's kingdom once and for all.

This third and final volume of the Carbonel series is as full of enchantment and adventure as its predecessors, Carbonel and...]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:20:44 +0200 https://historical.library.land/barbara-sleigh/100329-carbonel_and_calidor_new_york_review_childrens_collection.html https://historical.library.land/barbara-sleigh/100329-carbonel_and_calidor_new_york_review_childrens_collection.html
