An irresistible new volume of affectionate missives about our feline companions from Charles Dickens, James Joyce, Anne Frank, Elizabeth Taylor, and more, from the author of the bestselling 'Letters of Note' collections.
T. S. Eliot types a rhyming birthday party invitation to all Jellicle cats for his four-year-old godson. Ernest Hemingway catalogs all of his feline friends to an ex-wife. Jack Kerouac's mother grieves at the death of the family cat. Jack Lemmon winkingly suggests to Walter Matthau that they go in on a cat ranch in Mexico. This utterly charming collection offers a warm and friendly look at the place that cats occupy in our hearts and lives. These 30 letters capture the profound delight of having or observing a cat, and they reveal a keen insight into feline nature as well as our own.
