I first read and loved the Carbonel series when I was a little girl. Although I'm very much older now, the Carbonel mood occasionally arises in me and and I reread the books with undimmed enjoyment. Special books become part of one's soul. The delightful, innocent, humorous fantasy of a talking royal cat and the children he adopts into his adventures makes for great reading and reminiscing throughout one's life. I've hunted down and given these books to a few other cherished people throughout the years, and so far all have loved them too. Highly recommended for children and adults who used to be children.

Enchanting King of the Cats Carbonel
Second in the Carbonel trilogy The Kingdom of Carbonel stands out equally well on its own. John and Rosemary meet up again and Carbonel appears to them seemingly agitated. The children decide to visit their old enemy Mrs Cantrip. Through the old witch Cantrip, the children find the means to not only hear Carbonel talking again but every other creature alive. Carbonel is married to his beautiful Blandamour and introduces the children to his kittens Calidor and Pergamond. From then on in the adventure gets more and more thrilling with rocking chairs and invisible children, minuscule magic and cat fights a plenty. An enchanting book that time does not age.
