About this title

Synopsis

Mantissa, the black cat, sets off to rescue his brother from the Enchanted Island, but it's not clear if he's held captive or wants to be rescued. He'd gone there in search of the treasure supposedly hidden on the island. His letters explained nothing but did invite the family to join him. Mantissa, his wife and daughter, and his two nephews decide to make the dangerous journey to find out what happened. They got rather more than they bargained for, being captured by bandits, but eventually reached the Enchanted Island, more amazing than any of them had imagined. Nor was the treasure what they expected as you will see.

About the Author

After several early jobs, he became deputy editor of Country Life and finally, before retiring, finance officer of the Historic Houses Association. He wrote the book sixty years ago and not being satisfied with it, put it aside. Sixty years later, in his eightieth year, he pulled it from the back of the drawer and rewrote it. Today it is being published - I hope you enjoy it!
