MORE CATS IN THE BELFRY

Book ID/图书代码: 12751009B34198

English Summary/英文概要: When she’s not chasing errant donkeys in her best chiffon gown or leaving the teapot in the fridge, Doreen has her hands full looking after her family of Siamese cats.

In this instalment of cats and calamities, new feline characters arrive to terrorise the tranquil West Country village of Rowberrow. First comes the timid lilac-point kitten Shantung. After the untimely death of the beloved Saska, a new male influence appears in the bold-as-brass Saphra, who was raised by a parrot and has a penchant for hidden treasure. The terrible twosome are all set to make the cottage a hotbed for mischief once again.

With cameo appearances from much-loved personalities, including Father Adams, Fred Ferry and the nosey Mrs Binney, there’s never a dull moment, and love is in the air for one of the villagers… but who?

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 繼《鐘樓上的貓貓們》,一部關於貓咪和舒適的鄉村生活更為溫情和詼諧的故事,這本寵物小說自傳首次發表於40多年前。

當她不再身著最好的雪紡長袍或把茶壺遺留在冰箱內,去追逐院內誤入歧途的驢時,多琳終於能騰出手來好好照顧她的暹羅貓家族。在本集貓故事和所發生的不幸事件中,一隻新的貓科動物恐嚇萬分地來到羅貝洛寧靜的村莊。首先來到的是膽小的有著紫色斑點的小貓Shantung,在作者心愛的薩斯卡早逝後,一隻新的雄性貓咪的出現影響著黃銅色的Saphra,這只雄性貓在有一隻鸚鵡和將其視如珍寶的環境下長大。這對可怕的組合再次惡作劇般地讓農舍成為它們的溫床。作者用閒散的手法描述了貓貓們最惹人憐愛的個性,包括父親Adams, Fred Ferry,和愛管閒事的Binney小姐,這從來不是一個沉悶的時刻,鄉間的空氣中散發著愛的氣息 — — 但是誰呢?(Sandy)
