THE TAIL OF AILSA

This beautifully produced little book is accurately aimed at that most dedicated band of pet-owners that transcend all age ranges - the cat lovers. Those of you whose lives are organised around the various requirements of your furry felines will extract a reful smile or a cheery chuckle from every colourful page and every whimsical tale. Very loosely based on the autobiographical musings of a cat called Ailsa the elegantly sparse layouts and strong yet subtle colours of the block drawings make for a real page turner. It is a sunny book - a little ray of sunshine - a feel good book that purrs and bouncces along just like Tabitha and Marmalade and Rhubarb and of course Ailsa. Those of you who have cats will understnad. Those of you who don't should buy one for someone who does - and they will thank you and perhaps try to explain...
