![]() Charming, touching and intensely personal, this book is packed with stories, anecdotes and reminiscences about Alice and the many other creatures Vernon Coleman has met, known and lived with. There are many stories about Vernon's four pet sheep. The book is liberally and beautifully illustrated with numerous line drawings by the author. |
![]() `This book takes the form of selected letters between two cats: Lemon-coloured Lion Heart With Long Fine Whiskers and his mother (Maman), sent over a period of years. The cats did not actually write the letters, they communicated with each other by `felipathy'. Dr Vernon Coleman is a trusted Upright (cat word for human) with a proven track record of active support for animal rights and a deep love of cats, so he was chosen to edit and publish the letters in written form, thus enabling Uprights to have access to the wisdom, insights and adventures of Lemon and his mother, and other cats who touched their lives. It is illustrated throughout with Vernon Coleman's famous line drawings that he calls 'catoons'. When Lemon is taken as a kitten to live with a new set of Uprights, he naturally misses his mother very much, and turns to her for support. She gently guides him in his task: `...to educate Uprights to lead them away from the path of indignant and false moral righteousness which some of their leaders have mistakenly chosen for them and to lead them back towards a peaceful, loving coexistence. Through his encounters with other cats and many different kinds of Upright, Lemon-Coloured Lionheart matures from enchantingly naive kitten to adult cat with a dark, deep experience of life, love and tragedy. This beautiful and moving book, with its deadly serious underlying message, is in turn funny, sad, witty and entertaining. It is somewhat reminiscent of Anna Sewell's great Victorian classic Black Beauty, which do so much to further the cause of equine welfare. Let us hope that between them Lemon, Maman and Vernon Coleman can raise the consciousness of Uprights everywhere and do as much for cats as Anna Sewell did for horses.' - from `Departed Friend', November 2004 `Just read The Secret Lives of Cats with my mum and like your other books we enjoyed it very much.
