I am so excited about this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marilyn Edwards has kindly donated The Coach House Cat and it's a signed first edition copy! She said she can either sign it or put a personalised message in it. This is the last first edition Marilyn has of this book so it was extra kind of her to donate it
This book is very rare and I dont want to see it reappearing on ebay or i will hunt you down or something. Would make a great xmas present

synopsis
As The Coach House Cats opens it is evident that the time has come to have Pushkin, the Russian Blue tom, and Titus, the ginger moggy queen, neutered. This was indeed the plan for Fannie, the tortoiseshell, but with her longed-for pregnancy well under way it must now be postponed. Fannie’s due date for her kittens arrives and, in the time honoured tradition of cats and the best laid plans, unexpected problems arise.
Following this drama, the household finds itself in turmoil again with the arrival of a black Bengal kitten, called Gilly, who massively disrupts the peace of both cats and people resident in The Coach House and sends Fannie in particular spiralling into despair.
With a fine eye and ear for the world of natural history, Marilyn Edwards is able to write about bird and plant life, and indeed farming and village life in general, with both charm and passion. But as always, it is her observation of cats and their ways that make her books so utterly magical.
Marilyn also said: "I suppose if I was asked I would say that what I was trying to achieve when I wrote them was a serious honesty in the observation of feline behaviour and what it is that makes cat tick and in that of course I was amazingly helped by the wonderful feline artist Peter Warner whom I believe draws cats better than anyone else alive! I was just thrilled when Desmond Morris the animal behaviourist said "A vivid, honest and observant books about a life with cats, told with charm and wit"."
Sorry I forgot to add postage £2 please!
