The story is retold by Kevin Crossley-Holland. We are most grateful to Oxford University Press for their help in using this illustration.
A Kindle of Kittens
Lynne Byrnes
Rumer Godden is again well served by the artist who has illustrated her tale of a stray cat, the tabby who manages to place her 'kindled' kittens in the best homes in town. A long but utterly enchanting picturebook text.
