Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (Harvest Book)
T. S. Eliot
An engaging collection of humorous poems. These verses, originally composed to amuse Eliot?s intimate friends, have proven irresistible to cat lovers, lovers of nonsense, and admirers of Eliot throughout the English-speaking world. ?Enough ferocious fancy and parody to knock the spots off most cat books and most...verses? (Time). Drawings by Nicolas Bentley.
