Orlando (The Marmalade Cat)

Orlando (The Marmalade Cat) is the eponymous hero of a series of 19 illustrated children's books written by Kathleen Hale between 1938 and 1972, issued by various publishers including Country Life.

Orlando's family consist of his wife Grace, and three kittens: Blanche, Pansy and Tinkle.[1] In A Seaside Holiday, they stay in the town of 'Owlbarrow', a thinly disguised version of Aldeburgh on the coast of Suffolk: many of the illustrations feature landmarks in the town.
