First sentence: The trouble really began one afternoon in early summer.  It had been raining for two whole days and two whole nights and a morning. So when Sergeant Boffer, the policeman's dog, glanced out of the kitchen window and saw that it had actually stopped, and that there was a patch of blue in the sky the size of his basket blanket, he decided to go out at once.
Description: -- From front flap:  When Sergeant Boffer, the policeman's dog, hears about the strange case of the changed kitten, he begins to believe that magic has broken out in the village where he is Top Dog and Officer of the Law.  Then Clarence, the chief cock, reports that strange things have happened to him, too, and Boffer himself seems to come under a dreadful spell.  Worst of all, his cat friend, Mr Twink, is not himself at all.  In fact, the Sergeant has reason to fear that the whole village is in danger.  In despair, he almost deserts his post and gives in to the bad fairy he believes must be behind all his troubles.  But is it really magic at work? And can anything -- even a bad fairy -- get the better of the dauntless Mr Twink?  In the end, there is a surprise, not only for Boffer, but for his unseen enemy too.
Notes: The 5th title in the Mr Twink series.
