Vernon Coleman’s
ninth cat book, Cat Fables is out NOW!
Dearest Cat
Lover,
Vernon Coleman has recently finished writing his latest cat
book, Cat Fables, and I am excited to tell you that Cat Fables is
available for you to purchase today. And, as a very special bonus, I’ll deduct
£3 from the normal asking price if you order Cat Fables before Christmas.
This price reduction will have to end then I’m afraid. So if you want extra
copies, now is the time to buy them.
Cat Fables is a book I am
sure you are going to love. Once again, Vernon Coleman has produced a classic
gem in this beautifully written and illustrated (with ‘cat-toons’) cat book.
Whether you want this exquisite, limited first-edition hardback book with its
trademark yellow cover as a gift for yourself, or for friends or relatives, I am
certain it will not disappoint. Every one of Vernon Coleman’s cat books is a
treasure. That is why cat lovers all around the world consider Vernon Coleman’s
cat books the crème de la crème of cat books, and why they are so sought after
by book collectors.
Cat Fables contains 30 delightful stories
about cats with a message (or a ‘moral’) at the end of each story, hence the
book is called Cat Fables and not Cat Stories. I have chosen one
of the shortest fables from the book just to give you a taste.

The Price Of Everything And The Value Of
Nothing
Two cats were walking down the road. They were both new
to the neighbourhood. One was very well-groomed and wore an expensive collar.
The other was rather unkempt and had no collar. He had a mouse in his mouth.
They stopped for a moment to introduce themselves.
`I'm His Highness
Rupert Braunton the 5th,' said the cat with the expensive collar. `I cost £500.
How much did you cost?'
The unkempt cat put down the mouse he was
carrying. But he didn't answer.
`How much did you cost?' demanded His
Highness.
`I'm not sure,' replied the cat without the collar. `My name is
Fred.'
`I bet you didn't cost anything,' said His Highness with a sneer.
`With a name like Fred I suspect that your Uprights were probably paid to look
after you.'
Fred didn't say anything.
`I'm insured for more than
£500,' said His Highness. `My Uprights think I'm worth twice that
now.'
`Oh,' said Fred.
`I don't suppose you're insured at all, are
you?' said His Highness.
`I don't know,' said Fred, who didn't know what
insurance was let alone what it tasted like.
`After I won the big cup
last month they said my value had doubled,' said His Highness.
Fred
nodded.
`Where are you off to?' asked His Highness.
`A cat who
lives down the road got knocked over by a car last week,' explained Fred. `Today
is his first day out. I thought I'd go and see how he is.' He looked down at the
mouse he'd put down. `I caught him a fresh mouse. I thought he'd like
it.'
`What's the cat’s name?' asked His Highness.
`Billy,' said
Fred. `His Uprights call him Billy.'
`Billy!' said His Highness. `Another
common name. Was he a stray?'
`I think so,' admitted Fred.
`So he
didn't cost anything either?'
`Probably not.'
`No
insurance?'
`I don't expect so.'
`How very common,' said His
Highness with a sniff.
`Do you want to come with me?' asked Fred. `We
could say the mouse was from both of us?'
His Highness stared at the
other cat in astonishment. `Me visit a cat called Billy? A cat who cost
nothing?' He snorted. `Don't be silly.' And with that he turned round and walked
away.
Fred picked up the mouse and continued on his way.
Billy
was very pleased to see him. And delighted with the mouse. He told Fred all
about his accident and insisted that they share the mouse for tea.
Moral
It's not what you cost that matters. It's
what you're worth.
