Description
Cats were first domesticated – or, more likely, noticed a warm fireside and chose to domesticate themselves – many thousands of years ago. Over the centuries, they have performed a useful role as pest controllers, but much more as friends and companions of humans.
Cats have always inspired writers and artists. They appear in Egyptian papyri and tomb paintings, in Roman mosaics, in Japanese prints, and in Old Master drawings and engravings. At different times and places, they have been worshipped, mummified, associated with superstition and black magic, and bred as domestic pets.
This delightful illustrated anthology includes a selection of the many poems, anecdotes, and quotations about cats which have been written over the centuries: the charming, the funny, the sad, the exasperated, and the heartfelt.
In a fresh new paperback format with a selection of new images, this is an irresistible gift for anyone who likes cats.
Cats by Delia Pemberton is the perfect companion for cat enthusiasts and literature lovers alike.
