Carbonel
the King of Cats |
A girl named Rosemary buys a broom and a cat from a woman in the
marketplace. When the cat starts talking to her she learns that she has
encountered a witch, selling up to start a new career. The cat, Carbonel, happens to be King of the Cats, presumed missing by his subjects
ever since the witch, Mrs. Cantrip abducted him. Unfortunately he can't
return to his throne until the enslavement spell the witch cast on him is
broken.
This children's book was first published by Puffin Books in 1955, and in the
US by Bobbs-Merrill, 1955. It has two sequels, The Kingdom of Carbonel and Carbonel and Calidor: Being the Further Adventures of a
Royal Cat.
