While cats may hide their self-doubt behind dismissive 'you bore me' & 'I just sprayed the couch' smirks, underneath they are desperate to introduce meaning into their nine lives. This parody, based on classic self-help texts, has the answers. Has your cat been moping around in that patch of sunlight for more than 23 hours a day? Has kitty been overindulging in Whiskas in order to fill the vast emptiness within? While humans have plenty of self-help books to aid us in times of existential crisis, our feline friends have had to go it alone. Until now. This personal-growth book for cats (and their humans) uses the framework of classic self-help tomes to shed light on universal kitty questions. With chapters like 'A Cat's Conversations with God' & ' The Fur Agreements', this guide will empower cats to make the 20 minutes they're awake each day the best 20 minutes of their lives. ...

Mr Wickham turned out to be a disappointing husband in many ways, the most notable being his early demise on the battlefields of Waterloo. & so Lydia Wickham, nee Bennet, still not twenty & ever-full of an enterprising spirit, must make her fortune independently. A lesser woman, without Lydia's natural ability to flirt uproariously on the dancefloor & cheat seamlessly at the card table, would swoon in the wake of a dashing highwayman, a corrupt banker & even an amorous Royal or two. But on the hunt for a marriage that will make her rich, there's nothing that Lydia won't turn her hand to... Taking in London, Paris & Brighton, Who Needs Mr Darcy? details the charming, lively & somewhat dastardly further exploits of the youngest Bennet sister. Pride & Prejudice this isn't & Mr Darcy certainly won't be rescuing her this time. ...
