A veritable clowder of cats is presented by Willie Rushton in this delightful, brilliantly illustrated in glorious technicolour, collection of our feline friends.
Each letter of the alphabet has one full page illustration with supporting verse plus nine vignettes of cats relating to that letter.
The letter A has a magnificent rendering of Arles Cat, sat, not surprisingly on the yellow chair, while B has Busby Berkeley's Cat. Lady Chatterley's Cat is exotic, or even erotic in C, where A Clockwork Cat also resides!
Then we work our way through the alphabet with such as F. Scott Fitzcat, Hardy Cat, 'Another Fine Mess' being the tag line, Jude the Obscure Cat (where is he?), Kinky Cat, Narcissistic Cat, who is very vain, Oscar Cat, looking distinctly like the great Wilde, Rembrandt's Cat, Who's Afraid of Virginia Cat? and Emile Zola's cat, who is uttering the words 'J'Accuse'!
It is great for a read and one to be kept on hand for a browse when spirits want cheering up a little.
