Hidden behind a hedge of overgrown roses lies Midnight Manor, a sprawling estate where time moves at the speed of a purr and every shadow holds a sleepy secret. When Oliver, a curious young kitten with one white paw, sneaks past the iron gates, he discovers that the manor is run by a council of wise, tuxedo-wearing feline historians who guard the Great Clock of Dreams. As the clock begins to lose its rhythm, threatening to keep the entire village awake with restless thoughts, Oliver and an old, monocled cat named Lord Bartholomew must embark on a cozy, twilight journey through the moth-eaten libraries and moonlit parlors of the house. Along the way, they untangle balls of forgotten memories, sip warm cream from silver saucers, and learn that the softest comfort comes from finding one’s true home. This gentle, purr-fect bedtime tale wraps the reader in a warm, sleepy haze of whiskers, velvet, and deep relaxation.
