Delete. I can find nothing to suggest that this book is notable - the only mention I found of it is a brief mention here, which isn't even remotely enough to give or suggest notability. Offhand the author's notability also seems to be in question, which is part of the reason why I'm not immediately suggesting a redirect to the author's article. The other reason is that if this article is deleted then The Adventures & Brave Deeds of the Ship's Cat on the Spanish Maine should be moved there, since the book's cover marks it as "The Ship's Cat" - making this article the more reasonable location. That article also has some issues with notability and sourcing, so if I can't find notability for the book I'd recommend turning it into a redirect to Ship's cat, possibly to the section that specifically deals with ship cats in fiction. I'll update this later if anything changes after I do some searching for the other book and for Brandis. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:45, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
