Beverley Nichols' Cats' A. B. C.

By Beverley Nichols

Book Overview

Are you concerned that your friends would melt away if they overheard your conversations with your kitties? Do you worry that it's not natural to know -- really know -- exactly what your cats are thinking? If so, Beverley Nichols is a kindred spirit with delightfully witty and utterly absorbing tales about his three cats, Four, Five, and Oscar. Explaining every permutation of cat psychology from "Amusements" to "Zoos," Nichols has written an unforgettable and loving tale of the enduring bonds between cats and people.

Customer Reviews

If you love cats or know someone who does

this is a great book! Cute, funny, witty. Not quite up to par of most of Nichols' other writings, but well worth the read. Giving one to my cat-loving sister as a gift!

Good for Nichols collectors and Cat lovers

A cute little book - typically a little meatier with the wording than you would expect from the title - but I suspect that must just be Nichols style. Enjoyable - purchased two for devoted cat lovers.

Cats and old fashioned charm

This is a wonderful, charming book about cats by the famous gardening writer Beverley Nichols. His books take place in midcentury England and are absolutely wonderful. There is a equally charming sequel, Cats X. Y. Z., and several garden writing books (not how-to's, but humorous stories of his experiences gardening, housekeeping, and English village life). If you like this sort of thing, it's A+.
