Orlando the marmalade Cat - The Frisky Housewife


My most favorite books from my childhood 

this one is particularly stunning, and a first edition! 

A first edition of the wonderful Orlando story The Frisky Housewife, which follows Orlando and his wife Grace as they open a shop by the same name. When the problem of staff arises a procession of stray cats start working for food and a new home.

Orlando, along with Winnie-the-Pooh and Peter Rabbit, has taken his place at the top table of children’s fictional characters, and Kathleen Hale’s illustrations are as extraordinary and magical now as ever. 

A frisky first edition for any lover of children’s fiction and illustration.
