Marilyn Edwards has kindly donated The Cats of Moon Cottage and its a signed first edition copy! She said she can either sign it or put a personalised message in 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 of the book
Funny, poignant and philosophical, The Cats of Moon Cottage celebrates the joys and the heartache of living with cats. Beautifully written, it tells the true story of two cats. One is the old, loyal, but independent Septi, very much his own cat, established as lord of his domain within Moon Cottage. The other is Otto, a tiny, delicate tortoiseshell kitten, who joins the household as the story begins and who, for her survival and in a manner particular to her, must set out to win Septi over.
This wonderful memoir will ring true with all who love cats, and is a testimony and a tribute to that unique and rewarding relationship which exists between humans and their feline companions in which cats, in their splendid complexity, remain among us, but not of us.
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"."
