About This Item
London: Souvenir Press, 1993. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First printing. A fine, fresh, unused copy in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 192 pp. Illustrated with photographs by William Gooddy. The author moved to an old stone Provence farmhouse surrounded by fields, vinyards and olive groves, its cool green garden a riot of roses, wistaria and jasmine. She had moved from Hampshire with her two English cats but soon discovered that the local peasant farmers, struggling to make a living, had little room for sentiment where their animals were concerned. So day after day, "Mas des Chats" was beseiged by patetci, starving cats, abandoned, often ill. This is the story of ten of those highly individual cats and how they shared the author's life and worked their way inevitably into her heart.
