About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1952. Some creasing and small tears to the edges of price-clipped dustwrapper, the top inch or so of which is torn away at the top end of the spine. Minor bumping to spine ends and corners of orange boards, a small faded bit at the top end of the spine where the dustwrapper has been torn away, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book. Doesn't seem to be a common book, I see very few copies anywhere online. The book contains eighteen cat stories (and a poem) by different authors, namely: "A Little White Cat" by Dorothy Baker, "A Fine Place for the Cat" by Margaret Bonhan, "Smith" by Ann Chadwick, "When in Doubt - Wash!" by Paul Gallico, "The Blue Flag" by Kay Hill, "God and the Little Cat" by Selwyn Jepson, "The Fat of the Cat" by Gottfried Keller, "Broomsticks" by Walter de la Mare, "New Conquest of the Matterhorn" by T S Blakeney, "Johnnie Poothers" by Charles Odger, "The Fat Cat" by Q Patrick, "Kitty, Kitty, Kitty" by Joh Pudney, "Mr Carmoody's Safari" by Kermit Rolland, "Cat up a Tree" by William Sansom, "Feathers" by Carl van Vechten, "Calvin the Cat" by Charles Dudley Warner, "The Traveller from the West and the Travellers from the East" by Sylvia Townsend Warner, "The Story of Webster" by P G Wodehouse, and a poem "The Ad-dressing of Cats" by T S Eliot. With an introduction by John Murray. 271pp, b&w drawings.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Fair. Illus. by Mayo, Eileen. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
