"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much."
-- Mark Twain
Cats and literature go together like tea and cake. It's not that you can't have one without the other, but there is a certain rightness to the pairing. Writers have chosen many animal companions over the years - often dogs, sometimes a raven (Charles Dickens) or, most oddly, a wombat (Dante Gabriel Rossetti) - but perhaps the most common is the cat.
From Six Dinner Sid and T.S. Eliot's rebellious Rum Tum Tugger to the infuriating Cheshire Cat of Wonderland and Behemoth the Cat, the demonic shapeshifter of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, A Literary Cat for Every Day of the Year draws together quotes and passages from poems and stories in celebration of the most famous cats in literature.
A must-have for all cat-lovers and book lovers, this inspirational collection is the perfect gift for feline fans to treasure all year long.
