Orlando the Marmalade Cat: A Seaside Holiday

Product Information

Fluffy - Judge Wiggins' pet cat, he is the villain in Orlando the Judge for stealing Mr. Gorgon's cheese for his mousetraps. He eventually became a guardian for the Old Mice's Home as punishment. Hale was the castaway on Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 on 30 October 1994. She was interviewed by Sue Lawley and chose the Catalan song " Cobla La Principal de Peralada [ ca]" as well as pieces by Anton Karas, Gertrude Lawrence and Scott Joplin as her favourite records, Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time as her choice of book, and a djellaba made from golden cloth as her luxury item. [7] Orlando is, of course, a utopian cat who, disliking the world as he finds it, wants to change it. In Orlando Becomes A Doctor, there is a perfect picture of a hospital as it might be. He takes on a French chef to improve his patients' diet; he evolves the ideal cure for the rich, which is to give away half their money to the poor. When you look at him closely, he is terribly alternative. Guests must be 36 inches tall to ride with a guardian, or 48 inches tall to ride without a guardian

Kathleen Hale was born in Broughton, Salford, Lancashire and was brought up in a suburb of Manchester. Her childhood was far from idyllic: her father died when she was very young and she was forced to endure long periods of separation from her mother. This, along with the frustrations of an unexpressed artistic talent, produced a rebellious reaction in the young girl's naturally ebullient nature. However, her talent as an artist was recognised at school by a sympathetic headmistress at Manchester High School for Girls and she went on to attend art courses in Manchester and at the University College, Reading. Kathleen Hale was part of a very English artistic tradition of mild bohemianism and modest bloodymindedness. "I broke all the rules of decent behaviour," she once said. Her marriage in 1926 to Douglas Maclean, a doctor working in medical research, was unconventional in that it had been suggested by his father, Dr John Maclean, medical superintendent of the London Fever Hospital, whose treatment of Hale for suspected diptheria had led to "a great and loving friendingship". Maclean Sr felt that the gap in their ages was too large to marry her himself.Wiggins - Wiggins is a judge who owns Fluffy the cat. He appears in Orlando the Judge, with a cold. So what chance do these budding young financial whizzkids think they have against the team of professionals? It's not often you get to hear a young man encouraging the women in his life to go out and buy designer handbags. But if you have an investment in the company making the bags, your perspective becomes a little different.

Katheleen's marriage to Douglas, a brilliant but depressive man, was semi-detached. Although they had two sons, they kept their interests and friendships separate, hers tending towards the intellectual and the louche. More Than The News" (PDF). News UK. p.20.

She created the marmalade cat Orlando and his world to entertain her children at bedtime, and in the late 1930s she began producing her series of books about him, among the earliest picture books produced using photolithography. [5] In 1941 Orlando's Evening Out became the first fictional picture book published by Puffin Books, the children's imprint of Penguin Books. [6] There are many characters in the Orlando series, many of them minor. Some of the minor characters reappear in different books in the series (for example Mr. Cattermole), while others appear once.

Their trading decisions were key: at the end of the final quarter they swapped Mulberry for Aviva and Betfair for Tesco. In the final quarter, Aviva's share price increased by 17% (compared with a rise of only 6.6% for Mulberry during that time) and Tesco rose by 1.2% (far superior to a fall in the Betfair share price of 5.4%). He is quite blasé about his chances of winning, claiming that his portfolio is purrfect. Orlando could just pull the (Persian) rug from under his rivals. Orlando - The hero of the series, he is a marmalade-coloured cat with eyes like two green gooseberries. He sometimes keeps his watch on his tail, and later on in the series he is friends with a living magic carpet named Fatima. She was the cat's whiskers at a time when illustration was changing its whole nature. She was expert at integrating pictures with the text and paved the way for a new school of illustrator-storytellers, whose current star is Quentin Blake.The idea of Orlando The Marmalade Cat came to Kathleen Hale when she was in Italy. She was travelling with her husband and their train had just pulled into a country station, and there was a voluminous woman standing behind a table selling lemonade. She called out "Orlando," rolling the Italian vowels, and a small boy emerged from under a white tablecloth and he had hair the colour of a Seville orange. Thus Orlando was born in 1938 and became an instant success as well as required bedtime reading for her own children. Incidentally she always stated that she took the Babar books as her models; the large format with distinctive colour illustrations was exactly what she was looking for. I still think they are excellent children's books, and Kathleen's own illustrations are superb. The year each title was first published will be found in the image captions. The stamp ( top right) was issued by Great Britain in 1994 as one of a set of 10 Greetings stamps depicting characters from well-known British children's stories. The students may have finished last, but displayed the best performance of all the teams in the final quarter, their portfolio increasing by an average 5.4%, including a fantastic performance of 17.4% for property company Savills. We all have our favourite image of the marmalade monster. My own is the moment when Orlando, emboldened by a swig of milk to busk in a Dieppe café, renders his "world-famous imitation of a ham".
