PUSS IN BOOKS

Cats and books is the perfect combination as we at BIBLIOPHILE have always celebrated! 'The fervent lover and the sage austere.' - Charles Baudelaire. 'He is still only a whisker away from the wilds.' - Jean Vurden. 'After dark all cats are leopards.' - Native American proverb. This beautiful collection of quotes from literary greats explores just why cats have fascinated, mesmerised and often infuriated writers for centuries. Celebrating the mystery of these daydreaming, snarky, selfish, watchful, contemplative and changeable creatures, this charming picture book has brightly coloured background pages and a handwritten text, and adorable kittens of all colours and stripes, perched on bookshelves or teetering across rooftops, amongst papers and paws across volumes and keyboards and around coffee cups in a series of exquisitely beautiful colour drawings on every page. Paintings by Paul Magrs himself, the King of Cats, a witty book for all ages of cat lovers. 144pp.
