review 1: I love Downton Abbey and I ADORE cats, so Chris Kelly's recently released parody was a no-brainer for me. This slim volume condenses three seasons of the popular costume soap, following the upstairs and downstairs antics of turn-of-the-century England's feline population through the sinking of the Titanic to the aftermath of the Great War. The double-page photographic spreads, reenacting key scenes from the series with a distinctly catty thread is worth the purchase price alone (I'm particularly fond of Mattmew Clowder and Thomas Farel -- the latter the "handsome but evil First Footcat" -- preparing to dine on rat in the Verdun trenches -- it's not as gross as it sounds, ha!). Peppered between the photos and history "lessons" are sections like "Uninvited But Necessary Word... mores from the Dowager" and "How to Keep a Secret at Downton Tabby" (i.e., why bother?). A cute and clever Downton pastiche, Downton Tabby is a nicely-designed, humorous read sure to bring a smile to the face of cat lovers and costume drama aficionados alike.
review 2: “Downton Tabby” by Chris Kelly is humorous parody of popular Downton Abbey series, this time with cats in leading roles, for all series fans and cat lovers to enjoy.The author introduce reader to Downtown Tabby, the stately Yorkshire home of the Earl and Catness of Grimalkin, their three kittens – the pretty one, the prettier one and the other one – their kittens’ kittens, their servants, and, of course, the Dowager Catness, Vibrissa.That’s the beginning of this humorous book adaptation and in the same style author takes us through all of its 80 pages, the book with which he made great take off of original series.So if you're a fan of Downton Abbey, and additionally you love the cats, with this book you just cannot miss, you’ll have fun and more than once it’ll make you laugh.And given that I know one such person, it was never easier to solve a Christmas gift... less
