About this product

Product Information

Back in print in the U.S. for the first time in over 30 years. Rosemary's plan to clean houses during her summer break and surprise her mother with the money hits a snag when an old lady at the market talks her into buying a second-rate broom and a cat she can't even afford to keep. But appearances can be deceiving. Some old ladies are witches, some brooms can fly, and some ordinary-looking cats are Princes of the Royal Blood. Rosemary's cat ("You may call me Carbonel. That is my name.") soon enlists her help in an adventure to free him from a hideous spell and return him to his rightful throne. But along the way Rosemary and her friend John must do some clever sleuthing, work a little magic of their own, and--not least-- put up with the demands of a very haughty cat.

Reviews
"A delightful fantasy of real literary merit. When Rosemary acquired a black cat and an old broom, she thought she had a pet and a means of earning money for widowed mother. But Carbonel was magic, and at his behest she set out to acquire a witch's hat, pot and spell to disenchant him. How she does this will enthrall children. Amustfor all libraries." Library Journal "The children are lively, the grown-ups (including the witch) colorful and the mingling of magic and reality is most effective. New York Times "A delightfully amusing story." Parents Magazine "It's a highly diverting fantasy, told exactly as though it all could happen." Chicago Tribune "We do like good fantasy, and it is hard to find. Here is some magic sturdily rooted in everyday happenings with both the real children and their enchanted acquaintances well characterized and sharing in some very convincing experiences." New York Herald Tribune "A truly bewitching story reminiscent ofAlice in Wonderland." New York Journal American "A highly entertaining fantasy."

  • Excellent children's fantasy and adventure!

    This is q classic children's tale of an old retired witch and her cat, an enchanted cat prince. The story follows the attempt of two children, Rosemary and John, to help the cat cat win his freedom and his throne. In the end, the children help the witch also. For what can a witch do if all she knows is magic and now that she is retired it doesn't work? There is a happy ending for all. This is the first of three books written by Barbara Sleigh about Carbonel and his human friends. I highly recommend all three.

  • My favorite book!

    I still have the original Carbonel The King of the Cats (1955)from the 1st printing. My mother worked for the publisher Everyone in the family (Mom, Dad & 3 siblings) read, enjoyed and discussed this book. This great book fueled our imaginations to stretch and be creative during those formative years. It teaches children they can think outside of the box and that there truly is a world of endless possibilities! This book is for my 2 grandsons in the near future (8-? years). This book holds special magical memories for me!

  • wonderful!

    The most charming and magical book you could imagine. I read it 25 years ago and can clearly remember it. Young fans of Harry Potter and other magical or fairy books will love it. I'd say it's best for ages 8-12.
