Description

Cats are a diverse and fascinating group, ranging from the sane to the mad and the good to the bad. This charming collection of poems introduces you to some of the most memorable feline characters, including magical Mr Mistoffelees, sleepy Old Deuteronomy, and curious Rum Tum Tugger. The poems were originally written by T.S. Eliot under the pseudonym 'Old Possum' in the 1930s. They were later set to music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and became the basis for the longest-running Broadway musical in history. This new edition features original colour illustrations by award-winning illustrator Axel Scheffler. With its unique blend of whimsy and wit, this book is a must-have for anyone who loves cats and poetry.
