?So there we were, driving along with an earth-box, a bag of turkey and, squalling his head off on my knee in Sheba?s basket, the new boy.? The Toveys are no strangers to disaster, particularly the Siamese-related kind, but when their beloved Solomon dies unexpectedly, they?re faced with a completely new type of problem ? do they find another cat to replace the one they?ve lost? The animals always win in the Tovey household and this time is no exception. It is with the interests of Solomon?s (very audibly) grieving sister Sheba at heart that Doreen and Charles set off in search of Solomon Secundus, affectionately known as Seeley. Joined by a myriad of endearing characters, Seeley ensures he?s living up to Solomon?s standards in just the amount of time it takes to fall in a fishpond. This is an enchanting tale that will tickle your funny bone and tug on your heartstrings all in the same breath.

All our animals showed their independence at a dishearteningly early age.? The Toveys attempt to settle down to a quiet life in the country. Unfortunately for them, however, their tyrannical Siamese cats have other ideas. From causing an uproar on the BBC to staying out all night and claiming to have been kidnapped, Sheba and Solomon?s outrageous behaviour leaves the Toveys at their wits end. Meanwhile Doreen has to contend with her husband?s disastrous skills as a handyman, and a squirrel that chews the buttons off all his suits. Both human and animal characters come to life on the page, including Sidney the problem-prone gardener and Blondin the brandy-swilling squirrel. This witty and stylish tale will have animal-lovers giggling to the very last page.
