Word of mouth, hand-selling, whatever you call it we do like a personal recommendation. So we asked the Birlinn Elves what their favourite Birlinn and Polygon book of 2012 was.
Our Publicity and Marketing Elf, Sarah, was first off the mark with the obvious choice. Given that she has a packet of cat treats about her person at all times, well ... you get the picture.
‘I loved
Debi Gliori’s "The Tobermory Cat". On the outside it’s the
adorable book for children you'd expect from Debi with beautifully observed and
executed pictures. On the inside, so to speak, it’s a pithy and pertinent
lesson in what makes us all special. Being very fond of fuzzy redheads I thought it was just gorgeous!’
So. Yes. Well, there you have it. For children and cat (and fuzzy redhead) lovers alike, enjoy the stripey orange tale of The Tobermory Cat this Christmas!
