Last year's best seller returns in a new paperback format. This is the 70th anniversary of the book's publication, and the bright new pictures are a fantastic way to celebrate. A beautiful book from the illustrator of The Gruffalo and Tabby McTat. Everyone knows at least a few lines from these poems. Treat yourself to the book and see the story unfold.
His manner is vague and aloof,
You would think there is nobody shyer.
But his voice has been heard on the roof,
While he was curled up by the fire.
And he's sometimes been heard by the fire,
While he was about on the roof.
(At least, we all heard that somebody purred!)
Which is incontestable proof
Of his singular magical powers;
And I've known the family to call
Him in from the garden for hours
While he was asleep in the hall.
And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Prduced seven kittens right out of a hat!
And we all say, Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as
Magical Mr Mistoffelees?
