Doctor Who: Josephine and the Argonauts

A charming collection of quotes about cats from our favourite authors, accompanied by artwork in the trademark style of Paul Magrs (author of The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadful Teddy).

 'I love them, they are so nice and selfish' - L. M. Montgomery

 This collection of quotes from the literary greats explores just why cats have fascinated, mesmerised and often infuriated writers for centuries. Celebrating the mystery of these daydreaming, snarky, selfish, watchful, contemplative and changeable creatures, Puss in Books helps cat and book lovers to understand these beings who have intrigued great thinkers and writers since the dawn of time.

 Quotes include:

 'Time spent with a cat is never wasted' - Colette

 'Those who play with cats must expect to get scratched' - Miguel de Cervantes

 'If cats could write history, their history would be mostly about cats' - Eugen Weber

Puss in Books - Our best-loved writers on their best-loved cats

The author of the hit parody The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadfully Teddy draws on the simple, idyllic world of Beatrix Potter to shed light on some of the most pertinent issues of our time.

 Beatrix, a refined and gentle lady, decides to relocate to the countryside to escape the chaotic city and exorbitant house prices of London, in search of a simpler, more holistic life. Looking forward to painting cute rural animals and writing stories about their charming ways, she desires nothing more than to surround herself with nature and to practice mindfulness and kindness. But after months spent in isolation during 'hibernation', all the local wildlife emerge grumpy, sweary and having forgotten all their social skills - Jemima Puddleduck has even been cancelled. Will Beatrix's new small garden and spare room make all this aggro worth it?

The Tale of Toxic Positivity

The surely soon-to-be million-copy bestselling sort-of inspirational parody..

 A timeless parody of Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.

 Enter the world of me, Panda, plus my sometime-friends Cat and Teddy. You will find us living our best lives, trying (and occasionally succeeding) to be kind to each other. The cat is quite nice but can be a little bit selfish. Teddy can come across as very nice, with his squeaky voice and looking so tiny and helpless. But I must warn you, Teddy can be a vicious little backstabber, actually.

 This is a book of nice illustrations and some words from which you will likely gain some sort of inspiration. Like:

 'Just because you're struggling, it doesn't mean you're failing. But it might do.''Nothing beats kindness, ' said the cat. 'Gin does', said Panda.'If you don't stop saying inspirational things to me, I'm going to punch you up the hooter.''You OK, hun?' asked Panda, but he was just taking the piss.'We're just so, so lucky to have each other as friends, and it's going to make a marvellous book.'
