Cats
This page will be devilishly difficult to keep up with, since there are so many books about cats being published. I won’t be able to include all the cat books we stock, but I will try to post the new, the recent, and the essential as they tumble in and find perches around the store. This is merely a beginning.
The White Cat and the Monk
The White Cat and the Monk
A monk leads a simple life. He studies his books late into the evening and searches for truth in their pages. His cat, Pangur, leads a simple life, too, chasing prey in the darkness. As night turns to dawn, Pangur leads his companion to the truth he has been seeking.
The White Cat and the Monk is a retelling of the classic Old Irish poem “Pangur Bán.” With Jo Ellen Bogart’s simple and elegant narration and Sydney’s Smith’s classically inspired images, this contemplative story pays tribute to the wisdom of animals and the wonders of the natural world.
