THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT was born in Missouri, in 1888. He came to England in 1914 and published his first book of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965.
The Naming of Cats T. S. Eliot and Arthur Robins
The Book Cat Polly Faber and Clara Vulliamy
The perfect, witty gift for new cat owners of all ages.
Starring the real Cat Morgan, who inspired Eliot’s poem, this is a classic tale of a cat who became chief billeting officer for the capitals’ kittens during the second world war.
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn’t just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
‘A fabulous way to introduce younger readers to poetry.’ Huffington Post (Skimbleshanks)
Written by Polly Faber, granddaughter of Geoffrey Faber who knew the real Cat Morgan and wrote about him in his diaries, the story is based on real life anecdotes. Morgan was a familiar face at the publishers – both in the editing room, and on the roof, looking out for passing German bombers! But he soon finds himself chief billeting officer, responsible for the safety of all the kittens who must be evacuated out of London.
‘Ideal for reading aloud. The colourful and cartoonlike drawings have plenty of detail and added humour.’ Scotsman
A thoroughly satisfying story, full of peril and high drama, and exquisitely illustrated by one of the best classic illustrators in the business (alongside Chris Mould!).
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. ARTHUR ROBINS is a renowned cartoonist and illustrator of over sixty books. He is also a big fan of cats, particularly his own.
This witty poem has been treated to a new small hardback gift format – perfect for gifting to one of the very many new pet owners.
