Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats is a twentieth-centaury
classic, and Erro Le Cain has produced a brillian new interpretation
of three favourite poems. Growltiger, the pirate cat, 'regjoicing
in his title of “The Terror of the Thames,”' patrols
the river, serenades a voloptuous Lady Griddlebone, and fights
single-handed against the elegantly sinister Siamese hordes.
In a lass lethal struggle the Pekes and the Pollicles pour from
doors and windows to battle it out in the Park, to the astonishment
and alarm of the bystanders, while in charmingly peaceful contrast
the Jelliclecats waltz rapturously in their strings of pearls
and evening dress under the Jellicle moon. This is a picture
book that is full of delights for children and adults alike. |
