Written by the author of the beloved classsic, Ballet
Shoes (1936), this wonderful picture book about a cat who
lives in a theatre is available once again after 70 years!

Pinkie the cat works at the ballet theatre as
a mouser.


He loves watching the dancers, but he’s scared of
the mice he’s meant to catch!


What’s a ballet-loving cat to do?





Collectible hardback with foil on the cover makes this a lovely
gift for anyone's library

Rarely seen since it's publication in 1951, this heartfelt and
nostalgic read is the perfect gift for cat lovers of all ages


Osbert and The Theatre Cat are Noel's only
picture books - both republished simulataneously.

Includes the book's original illustrations by artist Susanne
Suba, also known for her covers for The New Yorker magazine.
