Description

In this volume we delve deeper into the clandestine world of feral friends, uncovering their darker secrets, naughty escapades, and revealing confessions about human masters. Surprisingly, cats keenly observe and attempt, not always successfully, to mimic human behavior. The collection's latter half introduces humans struggling with pet embarrassment and those veering too close to nature. Edith Nesbit's tales provide a humorous exploration of the intricate relationships between humans and their feline companions, with a touch of wit and insight.

Author

E. Nesbit (1858–1924) reinvented children's literature by letting magic walk into ordinary English life — leftover tea, railway platforms, and wishes that go wrong in the most practical ways. The Railway Children, the Bastable books, and the Psammead adventures taught young readers that wonder need not be solemn. Nesbit wrote as an adult who still remembered how children actually talk: funny, fierce, and rarely pious.
