The Little Book of Cats draws together quotations from poetry, plays, letters and diaries as well as ancient bestiaries to give an insight into the nature of thsee creatures which have beguiled our affections since the earliest times.
These small, beautifully illustrated books with quotations drawn from a wide variety of sources: poetry, plays, letters, diaries as well as ancient bestiaries, give an insight into the nature of the creatures which have beguiled our affections since the earliest times. Fables and superstitions surround animals as an index of the creativity of God. Later writers have come to see animals as individuals, as well as being useful as metaphorical source material for comments on human nature.
The lion was used in renaissance art to depict majesty and courage and was associated with the resurrection of Christ. The cat, in contrast, was traditionally associated with laziness and lust, as well as witches and devils. Today we add domesticity, motherly skills and cunning to our preconceptions about the cat's nature. The cat has become our most popular domestic pet. As friend and muse, the cat has captured our imagination so that in the last two centuries there is no animal which has inspired more prose and poetry.
