Fletcher and Zenobia

A tale of a cat and a doll who meet high up a tree with no recollection of how they arrived there. When they through a party for themselves to while away the time, an unexpected guest proves the key to their escape. Edward Gorey fans please note that, while Gorey *wrote* the story, he did not *illustrate* the story. Victoria Chess's illustrations, you'll be happy to know, are apt in their own right.

I am happy to be re-united with this book. I originally bought it years ago because Gorey was the co-author, but now I see that Chess's illustrations are quite wonderful. I am disappointed that the follow-up book, "Fletcher and Zenobia Save the Circus," is only available used. This edition is new and the drawings are lovely and crisp.

I was so delighted to discover this book has been reprinted. It was our daughter's favorite book as a child and, now is becoming so for her daughter, age 5. Really any age can enjoy its charm and delightful pictures and text.

Loved this book as a kid. It is really hard to find. Grab it when you can... Edward Gorey was involved!

I loved the book

Read this charming and delightful story about a doll and a cat and a moth who find themselves together in a tree to my oldest daughter when she was a little girl.It's illustrated by Edward Gorey. Found a good used copy at Amazon (its out of print) and bought for her 41st birthday. Vida es breve.

Fun story that my young children love!

It's a very sweet story for when a grown-up needs some cheering up.

So glad to find this little gem as it’s referenced in the ‘Toys go out’ trilogy which my daughter is a huge fan of. A very sweet and wacky story perfect for bedtime for 4/5 year olds.
