THE PURR-FECT GIFT FOR CAT LOVERS: Discover the literary legend's quirky and winsome cat poems, meditations, and drawings

Includes the hard-to-find The Art of Bunditsu, plus 30+ other delights from a lifetime of reflection on the mystery and magic of cats

"The presence of a cat keeps me in touch with the mystery, the unreasonableness, the beauty, the stubborn wildness of the nonhuman world." In her life as in her art, Ursula K. Le Guin was fascinated by the feline. This irresistable book about cats gathers poems, meditations, and drawings dedicated to the complicated creature that captured her imagination. Here are:

  • The Art of Bunditsu, Le Guin's hard-to-find "tabbist" meditation on the arranging of cats
  • 26 cat poems, many illustrated by Le Guin herself
  • The Historic First Issue! of Le Guin's one-of-a-kind cat comic book, Supermouse Comix!
  • Cat Correspondence: letters between Le Guin's cat and those of her daughter detailing the Five Deliberations that cats spend their lives studying
  • Cat Tai Chi, as depicted in a charming series of drawings

A first-of-its-kind collection from a science fiction legend, this delightful purr-purri is a gift for cat lovers and Le Guin fans!
