For all those people who say they aren't cat people, but deep down know they are. Helen Brown wasn?t a cat person, but her nine-year old son Sam was. So when Sam heard someone mention that her cat had just had a litter, he pleaded to go & see them. Seeing Sam holding one of the tiny kittens in his hands, Helen was powerless to resist & the deal was done ? to be delivered when the kitten was big enough to leave her mother. Just a week later, Sam was killed in a road accident. Not long after this, a little black kitten was delivered to the familys doorstep. Totally numbed by Sam's death, Helen had completely forgotten about the new arrival, which belonged in another universe when Sam was still alive. Helen was ready to send her back, but Sams younger brother, Rob, identified with the kitten who?d also lost her brothers. Stroking her, it was the first time Helen had seen him smile since Sams death. There was no choice, the kitten ? dubbed Cleo ? had to stay. Cleos immense character slowly taught the family to laugh again, giving them hope of getting back to normal. She went on to become the high priestess of Helens household
- vetoing her new men, terrifying visiting dogs & playing an integral role in their lives to become both a guardian & friend.

The distinguished historian & classicist Michael Grant confirms that her reputation as a temptress was well-founded. However, by unravelling the sources behind the tangle of myth, gossip & invention he shows that the popular image of a wayward woman opting for a life of sensuous luxury & neglecting her affairs of state is far from the truth. A brilliant linguist & the first of her Greek-speaking dynasty who learned Egyptian, she was reputed to be the author of treatises on agriculture, make-up & alchemy. Her love affairs were carefully calculated to further her plans to restore her empire to its former greatness & she was a ruthless foe to all who stood in her way.

An unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary queen & her stormy life. The size of this book is 23cm in height & 15.5cm wide with 301 pages. ...
