The Book of Cats

0/5 ( ratings)

You don't need to be a lover of cats, or kittens, to enjoy this extravagantly illustrated anthology of stories, poems and pictures of our old furred friends, but it is probably better if you are. The editors have made a clever choice of words and pictures, which has a certain amount of whimsy but impresses overall with its originality. There are wonderful photographs, paintings and drawings...from every imaginable source: old masters, contemporary painting, obscure engravings...The writing ranges from Kipling and Dorothy L. Sayers to Walter de la Mare and William Carlos Williams, from P.G. Wodehouse to Paul Verlaine, T.S. Eliot to Charles Baudelaire, Thomas Hardy to Jean-Paul Sartre - The Sunday Tribune.
Superb...The pictures alone are worth the money - The Guardian.

Language: English

Pages: 360

Format: Paperback
