"There is a Nesbit quality about Miss Sleigh's writing as there is in her manipulation of magic.her books are always well worth waiting for." -Junior Bookshelf "Barbara Sleigh laces adventure with humor and has a casually expert way of twisting everyday settings and events into something bizarre and wholly entertaining," -Margery Fisher,Growing Point Praise for Carbonel: The King of the Cats and The Kingdom of Carbonel "A delightfully amusing story." -Parents Magazine "It's a highly diverting fantasy, told exactly as though it all could happen." -Chicago Tribune "We do like good fantasy, and it is hard to find. Read individually, or in sequence, Barbara Sleigh's fantastic and fantastical trilogy casts an unforgettable spell. This third and final volume of the Carbonel series is as full of enchantment and adventure as its predecessors, Carbonel and The Kingdom of Carbonel.
With all this going on, it's just a matter of time before Carbonel's old nemesis Grisana-accompanied by her slyboots daughter Melissa-hatches a plan to take control of Carbonel's kingdom once and for all.
Even worse, Calidor has apprenticed himself to the witch-in-training Mrs. It seems that his son Calidor has rejected his princely status for the love of a streetwise cat named Wellingtonia (also known as Dumpsie). And it's a lucky thing, too, because Carbonel needs Rosemary and John's help. Sure enough, Carbonel's human friends Rosemary and John soon encounter magic in the form of a ring set with a fiery red stone that grants wishes to whoever wears it. The third and final book in the Carbonel trilogy "There are many kinds of magic.and once magic is in your blood it attracts more magic," says the royal cat Carbonel at the start of Carbonel and Calidor.
