font size="+1"'A colourful series that celebrates the many ways animals enrich our relationships and our lives' Karin Slaughter/font size It's become obvious that the time has come to have Pushkin, the Russian Blue tom, and Titus, the ginger moggy queen, neutered. This was indeed the plan for Fannie, the tortoiseshell, but with her longed-for pregnancy well under way it must now be postponed. Fannie's due date for her kittens arrives and, in the time-honoured tradition of cats and the best laid plans, unexpected problems arise. Following this drama, the household finds itself in turmoil again with the arrival of a black Bengal kitten, called Gilly, who disrupts the peace of both cats and people resident in The Coach House. . . With a fine eye and ear for the world of natural history, Marilyn Edwards writes about rural living with charm and passion - but it is her observation of cats and their ways that make her books so utterly magical. **Fully illustrated throughout** Praise for the Moon Cottage books: 'My all-time favourite cat book' Jacqueline Wilson 'Cat lovers will adore this book . . . A tender story of love between the author and her cats' Celia Haddon 'All the many delights and a few of the heartaches of a life with cats are told with charm and wit. A vivid, honest, observant and involving book' Desmond Morris

The Cat's Table
Author: Michael Ondaatje
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 030740143X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
From Michael Ondaatje: an electrifying novel, by turns thrilling and deeply moving—one of his most vividly rendered and compelling works of fiction to date. In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy boards a huge liner bound for England. At mealtimes, he is placed at the lowly "Cat's Table" with an eccentric and unforgettable group of grownups and two other boys. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys find themselves immersed in the worlds and stories of the adults around them. At night they spy on a shackled prisoner—his crime and fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever. Looking back from deep within adulthood, and gradually moving back and forth from the decks and holds of the ship to the years that follow the narrator unfolds a spellbinding and layered tale about the magical, often forbidden discoveries of childhood and the burdens of earned understanding, about a life-long journey that began unexpectedly with a sea voyage.

The World is a Heartbreaker
Author: Sherwin Tjia
Publisher: Coach House Books
ISBN: 9781552451533
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
The World Is a Heartbreaker inaugurates a new subgenre: imposter poetry. This collection is a set of 1600 pseudohaikus, bite-sized chunks of poetic goodness shotgunned at the distracted masses. What's a pseudohaiku? It's the poetry of pure indulgence, a three-liner without the constraint, the pretension or the 5-7-5 syllable form. The subject matter? Relationships, cats, insecurities - themes recur and build into a kind of non-linear narrative. These micropoems are easily digestible yet remarkably acute, a catalogue of scattered thoughts and pointed observations that go down like potato chips - betcha can't read just one. Sometimes sexy, sometimes scandalous, sometimes sentimental, but always three lines long, these pseudohaikus are the future of poetry in a world awash with sound bites, news clips, catchphrases. There are no pleasures like the guilty ones. About Tjia's earlier books: 'Gentle Fictions is a tender, playful and inspiring poetry collection ... Tjia's poems are often silly, cute and irreverent, but artfully so.' - Matrix '[Pedigree Girls] is hilarious. It's also filled with raw, biting social criticism. [It's] the weirdest comix you'll read all year ... discover the seductiveness of nihilism by way of an author with a sharp sense of humour.' - NOW
