Paws in the Proceedings - Deric Longden ... his wife Aileen and their menagerie of playful cats have won him thousands of loyal fans. And after a few years break, Deric returns with the latest, and eagerly awaited, instalment of his memoirs. Deric is getting on a bit now and so are his cats. Life chez-Longden has adjusted to a slower pace, but everyday is still full of opportunities for the sort of mischief, mishaps and adventures that come with sharing your house and life with a troop of small cats with big personalities. "Paws in the Proceedings" has all of Deric's trademark charm, homespun wisdom and gentle wit. His remarkable eye for the humorous detail and the keen observation are very much in evidence, and this is another comic gem that will delight Deric's loyal fans and bring him to a bigger audience than ever before.

 ... life and the numerous problems that befall them and their extended family. I read this book within a couple of days of receiving it which is testament to the fact that I enjoyed it. Because it is formed from lots of little tales of Deric's escapades it is quite easy to find sensible breaks to put it down which would make it an ideal book to dip into and out of. Deric's humour is as good as ever and throughout the book he relates some of the problems he is facing as he gets older. The book starts with him shopping in...more

Premium Review Paws in the Proceedings - Deric Longden: An easy read and very amusing (602 words)
by laramax - written on 08/04/08 (Very useful, 55 readings)

I have to confess that I do enjoy Deric Longden's books. He has a wonderful, somewhat offbeat but simplistic, way of looking at life that I love and his sense of humour has me chuckling away as I read so I was really pleased to see that he had a new book out and I could hardly wait for it to arrive from Amazon. Paws in the Proceedings is the latest in a line of books which looks at life in the Longden household and, given the title, I was hoping it would make a lovely follow on from 'The cat that came in from the cold' and 'Enough to make a cat laugh' which were his two previous books about the felines in his life.
