Classic Cat Stories · Becky Brown (Macmillan Collector's Library)

Cats, be they much loved pets or inscrutable creatures, lend themselves to stories and literary invention.

Classic Cat Stories is a beautiful anthology that includes fairy tales and fables from the likes of Rudyard Kipling and Charles Perrault as well as comic tales from Saki and E. F. Benson. Cats of course have always had a dark and mysterious side which is explored to chilling effect by the likes of Edgar Allen Poe in The Black Cat and H. P. Lovecraft in The Cats of Ulthar. But above all, we love them and you’ll find here stories about all kinds of cats that tug at the heartstrings and which celebrate their curious ways.
