Cuddly and cute, fierce and ferocious, cunning and conniving, worshipped and feared – felines appear in many forms in the humble folk tale.
The cats in this collection of 57 stories are often heroic, witty and, at times, scheming or downright terrifying. Kitties big and small, from every corner of the world, such as the Kasha from Japan, the Nunda from East Africa, El Hombre Gato from Argentina, Kisa, the Cat from Iceland and many others can be found purring, hissing and prowling through these pages.
