Synopsis

2016 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This charming story is drawn from the true adventures of Sarton's own cat, and recounts his evolution from a stray to a gentleman cat, and finally, his emergence as a Fur Person. "A Fur Person is a cat who had decided to stay with people as long as he lives. This can only happen if a human being has imagined a part of himself into a cat just as the cat has imagined part of himself into a human being." Illustrated by Barbara Knox.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This enchanting story and classic of cat literature is drawn from the true adventures of Tom Jones, May Sarton s own cat. Prior to making the author s acquaintance, he is a fiercely independent, nameless Cat About Town. Growing tired of his vagabond lifestyle, however, he concludes that there might be some appeal in giving up his freedom for a home. Finally, a house materializes that does seem acceptable and so do the voices that inhabit it. It is here that he begins his transformation into a genuine Fur Person. Sarton s book is one of the most beloved stories ever written about the joys and tribulations inherent in sharing one s life with a cat. It is now reissued in a gorgeous edition featuring David Canright s beautiful illustrations."

Revue de presse
