The Clever Clever Cats – H.E. Todd & Val Biro (Picture Corgi 1985, ISBN 0552522759) – Charming Illustrated Children's Cat Story Description The Clever Clever Cats by H.E. Todd, with delightful full-colour illustrations by Val Biro. Published by Corgi Books (a division of Transworld Publishers Ltd.) in 1985 as part of the popular Picture Corgi series. ISBN: 0552522759 (or 0-552-52275-9). First Corgi paperback edition. 32 pages, approx. 21 x 14.5 cm. Stapled pictorial card covers. Condition: Very Good The covers show light wear consistent with age and handling – minor creasing to spine and edges, small scuffs, and faint marks. Binding remains firm and intact. Interior pages are clean and bright with no inscriptions, tears, or significant foxing. All colour illustrations are vibrant and present. A charming survivor of this beloved 1980s children's title. Story Summary: Libby, the resourceful library cat, is outraged when the local newspaper brands a human thief a "Cat Burglar." She rallies a gang of local cats—including the sleek police cat Percy, the tough old ginger tom Old Scrounger, the shop cat Sally and her kittens, the plump school cat Sam, and the fluffy Snowy—to catch the real culprit. Full of humour, clever teamwork, and wonderful Val Biro illustrations depicting village life, rooftops, and mischievous cats. A perfect bedtime read for ages 4–8, celebrating feline ingenuity and community. Author – H.E. Todd (Herbert Eatton Todd, 1908–1988): A prolific and much-loved English children's author best known for his warm, humorous stories featuring everyday adventures. Todd drew inspiration from real animals and children he encountered during his storytelling visits to schools and libraries. He created enduring characters like Bobby Brewster and wrote numerous picture books in the 1970s–1980s. His gentle, moral tales often featured animals with strong personalities. Other popular titles include The Very Very Long Dog, The Scruffy Scruffy Dog, and The Crawly Crawly Caterpillar. Illustrator – Val Biro (1921–2014): Born Balint Stephen Biro in Hungary, Val Biro was a renowned British illustrator, author, and artist who settled in the UK after WWII. He illustrated over 400 books and became one of the most recognisable names in mid-20th-century children's publishing. His lively, expressive watercolour style—full of character, movement, and charming detail—perfectly suits animal stories. Biro collaborated frequently with H.E. Todd and illustrated many classic titles. He also wrote and illustrated his own books, including the Gumdrop car adventure series. His work is highly collectible for its warmth and narrative energy. Edition Notes: This is the 1985 Corgi paperback (Picture Corgi S.). The true first edition appeared earlier that year from Hodder & Stoughton (hardcover, ISBN 0340369515). Printing history and copyright details are present on the verso as per the photos. UK £1.50 original price on back cover. This is a delightful, increasingly nostalgic title for collectors of 1980s children's illustrated books, Val Biro fans, or cat-themed stories. A wonderful addition to any children's literature collection or for reading aloud to young animal lovers.
