I received this book the first day it became available and was excited to read it. The story is not as "tame" as most of Beatrix Potter's earlier works - more suitable for older children and even adults. The main character is a black cat name "Kitty" who, unbeknownst to her owner who believes her to be well behaved, is rather a mischief maker instead, and lands in a bit of trouble. There is humor, the involvement of other favorite Potter characters, and a happy ending. I enjoyed the story, but was less than enthralled with the choice of illustrators; I would have greatly liked this story to have better pictures. The visual style of this book, while typical of the illustrator, is, to me, ragged and haphazard. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book and will likely purchase more for family members.
Quintin's illustrations are his usual loose and lovely characters, and Love the CD that comes with it, Helen Mirren reads much better than I. Wonder if we will ever find out why it wasn't published for Beatrix. Could it have been a rejection, or was it only a first draft, did the publisher thing there were too many cat stories.....????
This is not BP best work and it is fairly gruesome. QB illustrations are faithful to the story. Did not listen to the CD.
My wife was hoping for actual Beatrice Potter illustrations, which they aren't, but it is still a good book.
Wonderfull brought back many memories including a visit many years ago to her home.
