A quirky and clever collection of beautifully illustrated Japanese haiku poetry written from the elusive 'cat's eye' viewpoint - a wonderful illustrated book that would make the perfect gift for cat-lovers and poetry fans everywhere
Cats have been with us for thousands of year. They are-
Enigmatic friends Lone hunters, family pets Our garden tigers
and they too can be a man's best friend. The haiku is an ancient and honourable Japanese verse form - three lines, seventeen syllables - encapsulating a vision of the poem's subject; a person, place, even a cat...
CAT HAIKU presents cats as you've never seen them before. In a series of brilliant vignettes, Deborah Coates gets inside the minds of our cats and comes up with some surprising revelations. You will never look at your (or anyone else's) cat the same way again.
