Since the publication of her highly successful Cats in the Belfry, Doreen Tovey's books about life in a small Somerset village with her husband, Charles, a succession of Machiavellian Siamese cats, Annabel the donkey and some very eccentric neighbors, have attracted an audience who have followed the chronicles of the Tovey household through the years as though it were their own. The latest installment, initially as hilarious as ever with its account of Annabel's adventures in a television studio and the consistent efforts of Saska and Shebalu, the currently reigning Siamese, to undermine their owners' image, takes a tragic turn with the sudden death of Charles. But the author copes with this shattering blow, and gradually regains her sense of humor as she attempts to drive a car on her own, tow a trailer, paint a cottage, and deal with the lugubrious Mrs. Binney and the antisocial handyman Mr. Panting.
