Carbonel and Calidor: Being the Further Adventures of a Royal Cat (New York Review Children's Collection) Book

The third and final book in the Carbonel trilogyâ??There are many kinds of magic...and once magic is in your blood it attracts more magic,â? says the royal cat Carbonel at the start of Carbonel and Calidor. Sure enough, Carbonelâ??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 itâ??s a lucky thing, too, because Carbonel needs Rosemary and Johnâ??s help. It seems that his son Calidor has rejected his princely status for the love of a streetwise cat named Wellingtonia (also known as Dumpsie). Even worse, Calidor has apprenticed himself to the witch-in-training Mrs. Dibdin. With all this going on, itâ??s just a matter of time before Carbonelâ??s old nemesis Grisanaâ??accompanied by her slyboots daughter Melissaâ??hatches a plan to take control of Carbonelâ??s kingdom once and for all. 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. Read individually, or in sequence, Barbara Sleighâ??s fantastic and fantastical trilogy casts an unforgettable spell.Read More
