Quirk Books, like oh my goodness, that are just fabulous books to read! That's right.
I fell for these books whilst in Borneo last year and have read six so far -the Pride and Predudice series, Mr Darcy Vampyre, I am Scrooge and Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Zombies - well okay, the latter is a book of Christmas carols with words in zombie themes but hey, funny as.
The Meowmorphosis is one that has been on my list for aaggggggggesssssssssss and although there are plenty of books that got in before this one, I'm skipping those and heading straight for this! Only bought a few days ago at Readings:)
oh, I guess I need to add that Quirk books take the originals from donkeys years ago and as the copyright rules no longer apply to them, anyone can take the books and change their stories to reflect a more, shall we dare say, 'quirky' fantasy!
Written by (quote) one of the most depressing writers in Prague (unquote), born at the turn of the 19th century, and now altered by Coleridge Cook for this book, it takes look into the depressing (that can be argued) life of a man who works for his entire family and one day wakes up a cuddly kitten. The original book finds the man waking up at an insect!
Follow this story through the streets of Prague, to similar cats obstacles and through a family that may or may not be a little like your own.....and believe me, its not hard to wonder what it would actually be like - life as a cat!
7/10
