Beautiful Art and Funny Cats
A wonderful book to pick up and browse. Susan Herbert was an excellent artist who added humour to her detailed cat paintings. I particularly liked the classic movie section and trying to guess the films, most of which were very recognisable. I would highly recommend this book whether you're a cat lover or not.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Enjoyably splendid.
Delightful characterization of literary works, carried out with great skill and understanding. Quite surprising that cat's faces could be made to convey so much expression. I shall look on our own cat with renewed expectation.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
