Beschreibung

<p><b>The inspiration for the iconic musical <i>Cats</i>, T. S. Eliot's classic and delightful collection of poetry about cats.</b></p><p>These playful verses by a celebrated poet have delighted readers and cat lovers around the world since they were gathered for publication in 1939.</p><p>As Valerie Eliot has pointed out, there are a number of references to cats in T.S. Eliot's work, but it was to his godchildren, particularly Tom Faber and Alison Tandy, that he first revealed himself as "Old Possum" and for whom he composed his poems.</p><p>This captivating edition is a curious homage to felines young and old, merry and fierce, small and unmistakably round. Also includes Edward Gorey's charming pen and ink illustrations. Gorey gives a fresh intepretation of "Mr. Mistoffelees," "Growltiger," "The Rum Tum Tugger," "Bustopher Jones," "Skimbleshanks," "Macavity: the Mystery Cat," and a variety of other memorable feline strays all of whom have been brought to life on the stage in the hit musical Cats.</p>
