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.

Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisBack 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., 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.

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
