nice collection of short stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book contains a nice collection of short stories, selected around the theme of re-writing an old fable (which may or may not be recognizable). All stories contain a cat, and are set in a fantasy universe.
cat tales with a twist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I love cat stories and especially short stories. All of the stories were well written and well selected. I reread Pharoh's Cat and several of the others. I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys cats and their fantasy all in one book.
fine feline fantasy collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Cats always seem at home in the fantasy (and horror) genre at least in this reviewer's mind since the 1950s Bell, Book, and Candle; so a genre match-up seems natural. This fourteen-book collection stars felines as key players in new renditions of children's fairy tales that target young and aging alike. The contributors are a virtual who's who of fantasy as popular children's tales are turned by their tail. Just a few titles to further explain the lead cat: "Ali Babette", "All the Pigs Houses", "Sleeping Beauties", "The Cobwebbed Princess", and "Cat-Friend", etc. The tales of the tails is a lot of fun for fantasy fans, and of course feline lovers, and cats (trust me they must be able to read if they reside in my house - if they could only review).
