T. S. Eliot

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

London: Faber and Faber, January 1957. 

First illustrated edition, eighth impression. 


One of the greatest collaborations and most charming books of all time. 


Eliot at his most playful, demonstrating a delightful mastery of language, a kind of love-song to everything he relished in England, through the metaphor of cats.  


Nicolas Bentley transformed an earlier edition of these poems, by his wonderful drawings, from a minor work to no less than a masterpiece.  


Book is in perfect condition, with owner names, jacket has edge dirt and wear, otherwise very good. 


Hardcover.
