About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Rainbow Cat by Rose Fyleman. Read in English by linny; Lynette Caulkins; Adrian Stephens; KevinS; Nemo; Nan Dodge THERE was once a cat which was not in the least like any cat you have ever seen, or I either, for the matter of that. It was a fairy cat, you see, and so you would rather expect it to be different, wouldn’t you? It had a violet nose, indigo eyes, pale blue ears, green front legs, a yellow body, orange back legs and a red tail. In fact, it was coloured with all the colours of the rainbow, and on that account it was known as the Rainbow Cat. It lived, of course, in Fairyland, and it had all sorts of strange adventures. I am going to tell you some of them, and I think you will agree with me that it really had a very thrilling time, one way or another. - Summary by author
