The Blue Cat of Castle Town

Catherine Cate Coblentz 1956
illustrated by Janice Holland

This is such an unusual book.  It's a mix of history and magic all told through the eyes of a most extraordinary blue kitten.  Coblentz managed to weave the artisan crafts and craftsmen of a 19th century Vermont town into the story.  The layout and illustrations are wonderful as well.
