A HEARTWARMING and beautifully illustrated novel that marks the eagerly anticipated return of the Moon Cottage Cats promises to delight cat lovers of all ages.
Following on from the success of The Moon Cottage Cats Volume One, Marilyn Edwards’ latest offering, The Moon Cottage Cats Volume Two, contains the latest two instalments of her memoirs, chronicling her experiences with her feline friends.
In The Cats on Hutton Roof and The Coach House Cats, Mrs Edwards, her husband and their much-loved cats say an emotional farewell to Moon Cottage, a beautiful Elizabethan cottage in Hertfordshire, and make a new home for themselves in the Coach House, at Hutton Roof.
The author’s sadness at leaving her cosy little cottage and the effect of the move on her four cats, Fannie, Titus, Pushkin and Gilly, is tenderly described and, as both owner and pets adapt to their new home, the strength of their bond could not be clearer.
The author’s passion for cats and her heartfelt descriptions of the laughter, tenderness and joy they bring emphasise the reoccurring premise of her writing that home is where the cats are.
Fannie, Titus, Pushkin and Gilly’s adventures are also brought to life in the intricate pencil drawings of Peter Warner, which illustrate the work.
The Moon Cottage Cats Volume Two is published by Hodder & Stroughton and costs £7.99, with donations made to Animal Health Trust from every copy sold. Its ISBN number is 978-0-340-95453-9.
