Reviews
"Delightful Learish verse on very English cat characters, with flashes of superior, donnish satire." -- The New Yorker "Enough ferocious fancy and parody to knock the spots off most cat books." -- Time "Mr. Eliot successfully avoides the usual vices of children's books, archness and cuteness; for his cats are practical cats, cats engaged in getting something purposeful done or undone." -- The Nation "An absolutely marvelous rendition of Eliot's poetic classic, written for his godchildren and friends in the 1930s, which inspired the Broadway musical Cats." -- Library Journal (starred review), "Enough ferocious fancy and parody to knock the spots off most cat books and most...verses." -- Time "An absolutely marvelous rendition of Eliot's poetic classic, written for his godchildren and friends in the 1930s, which inspired the Broadway musical Cats." -- Library Journal, starred review, "Enough ferocious fancy and parody to knock the spots off most cat books and most...verses." -- Time "An absolutely marvelous rendition of Eliot's poetic classic, written for his godchildren and friends in the 1930s, which inspired the Broadway musical Cats." -- Library Journal, starred review --, "Enough ferocious fancy and parody to knock the spots off most cat books and most...verses." -- Time "An absolutely marvelous rendition of Eliot's poetic classic, written for his godchildren and friends in the 1930s, which inspired the Broadway musical Cats ." -- Library Journal, starred review, This is an absolutely marvelous rendition of Eliot's poetic classic, written for his godchildren and friends in the 1930s, which inspired the Broadway musical Cats. The tales of Mr. Mistoffelees the trickmaster, old Deuteronomy, a laid-back cat, Rum Tum Tugger, a contrary cat, and Macavity, the famous master criminal, are dramatized by Richard Briers, Alan Cumming, Nigel Davenport, Andrew Sachs, and Juliet Stevenson. Unfortunately, some material is repeated on the cassette's second side. Moreover, it comes with another tape that consists of excerpts of forthcoming Penguin audiobooks. This edition seems targeted more toward consumers than libraries. James Dudley, Copiague, N.Y.
