Mister Mishkins' Apothecary is the first book in the Magical Mister Mishkins series. It will be published on 3 October.

Mister Mishkins is a magical cat, who runs an Apothecary on Mosaic Street – a place that mysteriously appears in town overnight and is only visible to those in need. Whenever anyone enters the Apothecary, Mister Mishkins listens as they share their troubles and fears, before turning to the rows of wooden drawers where, hidden within, is an eclectic mix of cats. These cats take whoever needs them on a journey of transformation, replacing negative emotions with hope, optimism, and a small sprinkling of magic.

This beautifully illustrated book is 92pp, and measures 21 x 21cm. It is available in a limited edition hardback, hand numbered and signed by Samantha and Mister Mishkins. There are just 100 of these books available.

The standard book will be paperback.

Please note - this is not the final cover. This will be revealed towards the end of September.
