No extra "duty" as such...they just sting you on the postage! ;)

Thanks for the link Tony. It's very interesting. I might have to add it to my favorites list! As for The Cat, I am the proud owner of an old copy of that one and I recommend it highly. It's a "warm and fuzzy" story that I just love!
:ok:

Would you recommend this book for a 10 year old girl? My sis wants to read it but I wonder if she is too young for it and 'If Wishes Were Horses'.


mai :)

Would you recommend this book for a 10 year old girl? My sis wants to read it but I wonder if she is too young for it and 'If Wishes Were Horses'. Definitely! :)
They are well suited to "young adults" ;)

Here's an extract from a review from Publishers Weekly.

In an enchanting and sophisticated fairy tale for adults and intelligent children alike, a cat who may be more than a cat guides a young prince through the perils of ruling and loving. After the death of Esphania's wise regent, young Prince Jamas finds that the regent's cat, Niffy, seems to have the ability to cause him to have second thoughts when he considers actions that might lead to war or other unpleasantness. When King Egdril of nearby Mauritia appears to be casting an acquisitive eye on Esphania, Jamas, instead of waging war, invites the monarch on a hunting trip to demonstrate the martial skills of the Esphanian nobility. Egdril turns out to be quite a good fellow; it's not until Jamas falls in love with his niece, Willow, that the prince discovers the real source of evil behind the Mauritian throne. After Jamas and Willow are wed, it takes all of Niffy's cleverness to save them, Jamas's princedom and Willow's relatives.

Thanks Tony. You are very helpful. My sis has been bugging me to find out so I decided I should. Thanks again.

Is the book any good. I've had it in my hand a few times but set it back down.

[Tony]

Is the book any good. Yes...it's a good read.
So go read it! :D

Excellent book, and a personal favorite of mine of Anne's shorter works. It was the one I chose to have her sign two years ago at Dragon*Con when I sat in line for 3 hours. The book has a special place in our "computer" room along with my other McCaffrey items! :ok:

[Feena_bronze_rider]

Yes...it's a good read.
So go read it! :D
I'll pick it up! When I finish the Rowan.

[Tony]

I'll pick it up! When I finish the Rowan. Good!....I like the Rowan....your first time reading it?

[Feena_bronze_rider]

Yes sir it is. I bought it yesterday, and I'm on part 2.

[Hans]

So, almost a month past Feena... give us your opinion?
