Yesterday was the first of a series of launches for The Cat and the Fiddle, a selection of nursery rhymes. The Mill at Solva looked beautiful and Anna had dressed it to fit, with collections and gatherings of things that went with different pages in the book.
In keeping with the theme Rosie came too. She is such a star of the book and she was a star of the book launch too and enjoyed making sure that the floor was clean of crumbs.
So many people came, the Mill looked wonderful and there was a lovely buzz to the event. It is still possible to buy signed books from Anna from their website, and she will be ordering more copies of The Cat and the Fiddle as we sold all of them and more last night.
Today is a day of sunshine and showers. I have walked to the sea and watched seals embracing, new pups on the beach and a rainbow.
On coming home I found a parcel and in the parcel, dragons. Chinese dragons. The pages are so very elegant with the beautiful Chinese script, and it is always a thrill to see my words written in languages other than English, and so very wonderful to see such elegant script.

The next launch for The Cat and the Fiddle will be in Norfolk at The Centre for the Children's Book, on 6th October, then at The Imagine Gallery in Long Melford on 8th October. Meanwhile I have plans to run away with wolves next year.
Beautiful books
