Publisher Description
This is the story of a cat, a broomstick and an ordinary schoolgirl called Rosemary. She bought them both in the market, quite cheaply. Of course, neither the cat nor the broomstick were just what they seemed, and they turned up just when Rosemary badly needed something nice to happen to her. A good cat is apt to be independent, so she did not have things all her own way, and as Carbonel proved to be a Royal cat in a very special sense, that was understandable. Between the cat and the broomstick, Rosemary picked up some useful spells and magic, and the adventures they brought about turned a dull-looking holiday into one long to be remembered for its unexpected excitements and rewards.

Carbonel: The King of the Cats by Barbara Sleigh, illus. by V.H. Drummond, first published in 1955, stars young Rosemary, whose plan to buy a broom to clean houses over the summer takes an unexpected turn. The woman who sells her the broom also throws a cat into the bargain (for a few farthings extra), and the feline turns out to be enchanted. .
