On the Sofa (with books): A talking cat, a spooky house and an old gardener.

Today’s books include two that I bought as part of my ‘treats for a tenner’ just before Christmas: Sosuke Natsukawa’s ‘The Cat Who Saved Books’ and Jane Healey’s ‘The Animals of Lockwood Manor’ plus, a beautiful gift of a book; Marc Hamer’s ‘Spring Rain’.
