Domesticated since the time of the Pharaohs, but never completely tamed, cats still retain their sense of mystery and fascinate those privileged enough to share their lives. The inimitable free spirit of the eat is celebrated in this 'purr-fectly' charming selection of cat stories, anecdotes, essays and poems.
In Great Cat Tales you will find a wealth of tributes from both famous authors of the past and well-loved contemporary writers. The wide- ranging contents embrace Leigh Hunt's "The Cat by the Fire" and Rudyard Kipling's myth-like "The Cat That Walked by Himself;" Charles Dudley Warner's famous and touching portrait "Calvin the Cat;" eerie murderous instincts in Patricia Highsmith's "Ming's Biggest Prey;" uproarious comedy in "The Story of Webster" by P.G. Wodehouse; and poems by, among others, Emily Dickinson, John Keats and W.B. Yeats.
Essential reading for cat-lovers everywhere, Great Cat Tales is a deft balance of old favorites and new and delightful surprises. --front flap
