A faithful reprint of a book in a series I remember reading as a child. Mum used to take me to the library in Oldham every Saturday in the mid 1950's and Orlando The Marmalade Cat was a favourite choice. The story lines are full of adventure and possibilities - which makes the Orlando books fun and inspiring for children. The illustrations are equally inspiring - modern illustrations are often reduced to simple outlines and basic colour infill. They offer a charming representation of the subjects, and hours can be spent poring over them, drinking in all the detail.
beautiful illustrations, wonderful story

Truely engaging in all respects with 1940s/50s nostalgia.

Brilliant inlstrations. Lovely story but suits 7-9 year olds as it’s a bit scary so not suitable for the younger readers The reproductions are not as good as the original but still good enough.
