Zoe's Cats

Více o knize

From her cottage in Cornwall, Zoe Stokes invites you to explore a charming English countryside populated entirely by cats. Zoe's own two cats -- Mungo the temperamental explorer and cunning schemer, and Twiggy the gentle Siamese gymnast -- appear often in these pages, but here too are Sam the next-door neighbor, Ginger and Snowy the farmyard cats, Tigger, Marmalade, Bobo, and even the nameless kitten at the bottom of the pile in the pet shop.Imbued with Zoe's fertile and vivid imagination, the cats acquire human characteristics as they doze in their chairs, gambol in the corn fields, or gather in a Cornish inn or country railway station. Yet each gesture, each look, is quintessentially catlike, painted with an accuracy born of a lifetime of loving observation. Every picture tells a story, and Zoe's narrative relates the real-life incidents that inspired each beguiling painting. The charm of her witty, finely detailed watercolors and the originality of her style continue to delight cat lovers everywhere.
