One-of-a-kind illustrations and charming stories celebrate the pawsitively purrfect relationships between renowned authors and their beloved cats. Cats and writers are a match made in book heaven. Throughout history, our feline friends have served as trusted desk mates from the composition of a single poem to the creation of the first English dictionary. In Inspired by Cats, author Nava Atlas and illustrator Bob Eckstein capture these endearing, enduring relationships in a witty, sophisticated collection featuring sixty famous authors and their beloved companions. Novelists, poets, humorists, short story writers and memoirists from all eras are represented, from Mark Twain, Colette and Ernest Hemingway to Ray Bradbury and Toni Morrison. Stylishly illustrated and full of charming, touching and sometimes humorous anecdotes from history's most notable cat-loving writers, Inspired by Cats will charm both cat enthusiasts and literature lovers alike.
