Reviews

An eclectic collection that swung between the amusing and sad. There were a few letters that were a stretch to fit into the subject of cats but over all an interesting mix.

Nonfiction. History. Cats.

At just over 100 pages, this book contains letters from over a dozen famous actors, writers, scientists and more, all featuring the theme of cats.

A short introduction is included before each letter, stating the correspondents and a bit of background information, particulatly about the cats. Each letter is usually only a couple of pages long, making this an ideal book to either speed through in a single sitting or spread out over time, picking up a letter or two per time.

The book begins with a letter from Tesla, continues with Rachel Carson and goes on to Jack Lemmon. A wide range of times and locations and careers are included in the collection. Some letters are about cats in general and many include tales of the individual's own cats.

I picked this up looking for a book about cats that wasnt a reference manual and was delighted throughout. A fun, touching, sometimes sad, sometimes laugh out loud, this is a great collection.
