Night falls and Cat Country comes to life: town walls turn. I'm so grateful that these books were finally reprinted! Mind you, it does feel dated in some ways (this second book was published in 1960) but that's all part of its charm. Read 34 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. It's so delightfully British, full of eccentric characters with magic revealing itself in unexpected ways. The two children must do everything they can to save the kittens and keep Cat Country from falling into outright war.This book is as charming as I remembered.

Carbonel's old witch is up to mischief again, this time plotting with the ambitious cat-queen of a neighboring city. Rosemary and John agree to tend them, but soon enough trouble merges. Read individually, or in sequence, Barbara Sleigh’s fantastic and fantastical trilogy casts an unforgettable spell. He must leave for a meeting of kings, and he's concerned about the well-being of his two young kittens. 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. After going to a pharmacist for a special prescription, the two drink an elixir and can hear Carbonel again-and all the other animals and insects around. And once magic is in your blood it attracts more magic, says the royal cat Carbonel at the start of Carbonel and Calidor.

I last read it was a library copy about 15 years ago.A year after setting Carbonel free from a witch's spell, teenagers Rosemary and John reunite to spend the summer together. Now in paperback, the third and final entry in Barbara Sleigh’s enchanting Carbonel trilogy. This is the second volume in the middle grade-level Carbonel series.
