STORY PREVIEW
'One late moon at the start of the day the Kitten set off to find his lost meow with his friends, Old Tiger Top and Tiddly Pom. The journey took them from their home with Princess Think-a-Lot and Mrs Make-a Mess to the Dreamers' Dancing Ground where the Night Birds hooted that the Lost Meow could be hiding. Their search begins at the Remembered World, where the Dream Master navigates the Kitten across Imagined Oceans to the Valley of Winds and down to the Lower Elements. Encounters follow with Wind Spirits and Unquiet Happy Souls ending at Dream Weaver College and the Museum of Memories. On returning home Princess Think-a-Lot is pleased to find the Kitten has been happy while away whereas she had been very sad without him. The Kitten had enjoyed his travels and the kind-hearted greetings he'd received from everyone - greetings that reflected that he was a loveable Kitten born of the love and affection he'd received from the Princess while growing up.'

BOOK REVIEWS
'I have read Patricia's book and it is wonderful. I think it's a gorgeous little book such a charming message and beautiful drawings.'
EDLA SPENCER-CHURCHILL / Duchess of Marlborough, Blenheim Palace.


'The drawings of houses in the book are quite superb and among the best of that style I have ever seen. Patricia uses the same technique as the best early 20th Century illustrators of Peter Pan, Grimms Fairy Tales,The Water Babies, Wind in the Willows and The Aesop Fables.'
MICHAEL BISSETT-POWELL / Former artist to Sir Terence Conran & The Duke of Richmond's Goodwood Estate.


'I can see your book has been made with great love and care and your website you have created has a lovely touch of humour and is fun! Great Idea. The opportunity to build a cat-lovers' community is evergreen - I know wit x cat content in general is popular and charming and can convert to books nicely.'
LAURA HIGGINSON / Publishing Director Ebury Penguin - publishers of Charlie Mackesey's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
