Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats

Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats

An irresistible volume featuring illustrations of famous dramatis personaeâ€•with a feline twist
What happens when a cat becomes the subject of da Vinciâ€™s Mona Lisa or takes the starring role in Hamlet or Lawrence of Arabia?

Susan Herbertâ€™s feline interpretations of famous images from Western culture have charmed and amused readers for decades. Cats Galore brings together illustrations from the affectionately envisioned Pre-Raphaelite Cats, Shakespeare Cats, Movie Cats, and Opera Catsâ€•as well as other delightful images of cats cast in scenes from art, theater, and filmâ€•into one delightful volume.

Divided into three sectionsâ€•Cats in Art, Cats on Stage, and Cats in the Moviesâ€•this is the ultimate compendium for cat-loving culture buffs and cultured pet owners alike. Works by Degas and van Gogh retain their distinctive styles in spite of the furry faces; cats shine in Much Ado About Nothing and The Barber of Seville; and a bushy-tailed James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause stares at the camera with the iconic cigarette in his mouth. 326 color illustrations
