Lindyline - Timothy Tabbycat

Hi friends,

I am moving my other podcast, this podcast, Lindyline, a story podcast to this channel. A sort of two for one. It began as a very long story then turned into short episodes of stories and poems for children, and adults who wanted to unwind (so I have been told)!

This episode is a very gently changed (for the telling) Timothy Tabbycat a story first published in 1947, written under the pen name of CAM. The author's full name is Barbara Mary Campbell. It's about a cat named Timothy and his human friend Willy Straw and how they are invited to help rescue a hare who lives in the moon.

This is a book my mum had as a kid and one she would read to my brother and me, and it is still one of my favourites. I think a lot of it has to do with all the hidden bits, the rich colours, the 'wonderfilled' artwork! And of course the dragon.

If you want to see the pictures from the book, Tarrington Books scanned all the pages, so you can see what I saw growing up. I hope you love the illustrations and story as much as I do. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tarringtonbooks/8169356047/in/photostream/

The whole book is there.

All the best, and until next time...

Peace,
Simon
