London England: Michael O'Mara, 1997. Hardback. First Edition.Paul Gallico summed up just why cats are irresistible: 'Cats are, of course no good. They're chisellers and panhandlers, sharpers and chameless faltterers. They're as full of schemes and plans, plots and counterplots, wiles and guiles as any confidence man. They can read your character better than a psychiatrist. They know to a milligram how much of the old oil to pour on to break you down. They are definitely smarter than I am, which is the reason I love 'em.' Cats fascinate us by their intelligence and a certain air of mystery which even the best-loved cat displays. Here, their variety and gift for enriching the lives of mere humankind is celebrated by writers such as Rudyard Kipling, Doris Lessing, James Herriot and Patricia Highsmith. Everyone will have their favourite cat story but one thing is certain: the cat always comes out on top. All lovers of the feline will want to curl up with collection of classic cat stories, each one sure to make you purr with pleasure. Illustrated. 288 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.). First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Very Good. Illus. by William Geldart. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Harback.
