About “Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats”
T. S. Eliot's playful cat poems were first published in 1939 and have since delighted readers and cat lovers globally. Originally written for Eliot's godchildren, the poems were presented under the guise of Old Possum. They later inspired the musical Cats. This edition features vibrant illustrations by Axel Scheffler and includes characters such as Mr. Mistoffelees, Growltiger, the Rum Tum Tugger, and Macavity. It serves as a new version of the beloved collection, which remains available in its previous form.
