Wodehouse to Doris Lessing, from Damon Runyon to Steven Millhauser. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essential unknowableness of cats has inspired many flights of fancy: Italo Calvino's secret city of cats in \"The Garden of Stubborn Cats,\" the disappearing feline in Ursula K. Le Guin's mind-twisting \"Schr dinger's Cat,\" the cartoon rodent and his cartoon nemesis in Steven Millhauser's \"Cat 'n' Mouse.\" Cats flaunt their superiority in Angela Carter's bawdy retelling of \"Puss-in-Boots\" and in Stephen Vincent Ben t's \"The King of the Cats,\" in which two impossibly suave foreigners are revealed as even more exotic than they pretend to be. In \"The Islands\" by Alice Adams and \"I See You, Bianca\" by Maeve Brennan we see how much cats can mean to their humans. And the inimitable Saki lets us hear what cats really think of us in \"Tobermory,\" his tale of a tactless talking animal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these and other stories, this delightful book offers cat lovers a many- faceted tribute to the beguilingly mysterious objects of their affection.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiana Secker Tesdell\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of the Everyman's Pocket Classic anthologies \u003ci\u003eChristmas Stories, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLove Stories, Dog Stories, Cat Stories, Horse Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBedtime Stories, Stories of Art and Artists, Stories of Fatherhood\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStories of Motherhood, Stories of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eStories from the Kitchen, \u003c\/i\u003eand of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poet \u003ci\u003eLullabies and Poems for Children.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.11 x 7.42 x 4.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754181132576,"sku":"9780307700896","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/fd7ae15c37c48f6a35a2c286368b99df.webp?v=1780035169","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/cat-stories-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
