Description

From silly to sweet, 365 cat sketches by Michael Korda, drawn with love for his wife

With the imagination of a creator and the eye of an artist, Michael Korda doodled on the backs of old manuscripts in his tackroom whilst his wife, Margaret, used to be out riding. They loved and acquired cats―a habit written about up to now in their book, Cat People―and the few in place of abode presently would serve as inspiration for the drawings. These are no extraordinary cat illustrations, though. Korda’s cats read newspapers and books; go ice skating in the small country town where they live; comfort Margaret’s horse, Monty, after a stressful vet visit; sell fried mice at the Farmer’s Market, and undertake (on paper, a minimum of) no matter what fanciful endeavors their keeper conjures up.  

The result is a collection of magical pieces, filled with joy, that represent a year in the life of a couple in love with one another, and certainly with their cats.
