Set on Ocracoke Island, part of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Paws and Tales is an endearing story told in the words of Kali, a sailboat cat, and Harvey, an island dog. When Kali sails into the Ocracoke harbor with her person Sam, she senses that something unusual is about to happen. When a goofy but loveable Doberman pinscher called Harvey chases her off the edge of a dock, she finds herself adrift in an underworld of homeless cats, while Harvey and his person Emily ruefully regret the whole incident. What follows changes the lives of them all. Paws and Tales is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who enjoys dogs, cats, island life, sailing, mystery, romance, and homespun efforts to protect our planet. In spite of its whimsical nature, it has a strong message about living a simple, caring life, fighting for what one believes in, and not judging others simply because they are different (in this case, the dogs and cats).

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Pat Garber (illustrator). 1st Edition. New / As New. Stated First Edition / First Printing (2014; explicit "First Edition" statement on copyright page). Uncirculated publisher archive stock direct from Schroeder Publications. Octavo (approx. 8.5 x 5.5 inches); [vi], 134, [4] pp. Bound in publisher's original pictorial card wrappers designed by Maria Dorsett Schroeder, featuring an original mixed-media painting by Pat Garber depicting Kali the tabby cat peering from a boat portlight and Harvey the Doberman Pinscher on the Ocracoke beach overlooking the Ocracoke Light Station. Extensively illustrated throughout with original black-and-white chapter head drawings and character sketches by the author. A pristine, unread copy with sharp corners, an uncreased spine, tight glue binding, and immaculate pages throughout. Retains the original $14.95 publisher retail price intact above the rear barcode. Written and illustrated by Outer Banks naturalist and wildlife rehabilitator Pat Garber, Paws and Tales is a whimsical, heartwarming environmental adventure set entirely on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. Told in alternating chapters through the distinct voices of Kali (a spirited sailboat cat who arrives in Ocracoke harbor with her human companion Sam) and Harvey (a clumsy, lovable Doberman pinscher living on the island with his human Emily), the narrative follows the duo after a dockside mishap sends Kali adrift into the underworld of island feral cats. What follows is an engaging blend of coastal mystery, gentle romance, and community activism as domestic pets and wildlife band together to preserve their island home. While lighthearted in tone, Garber weaves her deep professional knowledge of barrier island ecology, native fauna, and feral animal rehabilitation into the narrative. A delightful addition for collectors of North Carolina Outer Banks regional literature, Ocracoke Island stories, and canine/feline animal adventure fiction. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1010200342
