I am so excited about this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marilyn Edwards has kindly donated The Cats on Hutton Roof and its 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
This is the third book in the moving and true story of what happened to the cats of Moon Cottage.
The author is happily ensconced within the safe haven of Moon Cottage with her husband, his son and their three cats Fannie, Titus and Pushkin. But things happen to enable a dream to come true for Marilyn and her husband, Michael.
A move to the country is on the horizon. However, the stuff that dreams are made of does not always suit the cats in one’s life because, as all cat-lovers will recognise, cats hate change.
As in the earlier books the author combines humour, a little sadness and her own particular brand of enthusiasm while studying the issues raised by cohabiting with felines.
In this book she tackles too the problem of realising a dream only to find that the dream is not necessarily the perfection it was imagined to be. Feline bereavement, reproduction, jealousy, passion, love, laughter, tenderness, wildlife in general and in particular village life in Cumbria are all discussed in Marilyn’s wonderful and much-loved honest style. Above all she reminds us of the truth of why cats matter.
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"."
