"The Carbonel books are excellent stories, imbued with wonder and practicality in equal measure, dry humor, and a clear-eyed and sometimes sardonic love of cats. Read individually, or in sequence, Barbara Sleigh’s fantastic and fantastical trilogy casts an unforgettable spell. This third and final volume of the Carbonel series is as full of enchantment and adventure as its predecessors, Carbonel and The Kingdom of Carbonel. With all this going on, it’s just a matter of time before Carbonel’s old nemesis Grisana–accompanied by her slyboots daughter Melissa–hatches a plan to take control of Carbonel’s kingdom once and for all.
Even worse, Calidor has apprenticed himself to the witch-in-training Mrs. It seems that his son Calidor has rejected his princely status for the love of a streetwise cat named Wellingtonia (also known as Dumpsie). And it’s a lucky thing, too, because Carbonel needs Rosemary and John’s help. Sure enough, Carbonel’s human friends Rosemary and John soon encounter magic in the form of a ring set with a fiery red stone that grants wishes to whoever wears it. And once magic is in your blood it attracts more magic,” says the royal cat Carbonel at the start of Carbonel and Calidor.
Now in paperback, the third and final entry in Barbara Sleigh’s enchanting Carbonel trilogy.
