LEA TASSIE'S FICTION
#1 CATS IN CLOVER (Felinity Press, 2005)
George the Magnificent is a tabby-Siamese who revels in his royal status. He's
adopted by Holly and Ben, who own a small farm on an island off the south coast
of BC. Ben is so impressed with George's intelligent exuberance that he becomes
St. Francis of Assisi to every animal, even adopting Henry, a cat with a Buddhist
nature. Holly worries about trips to the vet, invading guests and renovating
dilapidated farm buildings. Ben worries that his dream of market gardening may
fail. George doesn't worry about anything. But can Henry be plotting to convert
him from feudal tyrant to mere citizen?
