In this edition illustrated by Joana Santamans, Doris Lessing pays a literary tribute to cats, exploring her relationship with felines from her childhood on an African farm to her adult life in London. Through her personal experiences, Lessing portrays these ordinary animals as extraordinary creatures, full of dignity and constantly seeking attention. Santamans' illustrations complement the text, creating a delightful and modern literary experience.
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007. Lessing was born to British parents in Qajar Iran, where she lived until she was 6 in 1925. Her family then moved to Southern Rhodesia, where she remained until moving to London, England, in 1949. Her novels include The Grass Is Singing (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called Children of Violence (1952–1969), The Golden Notebook (1962), The Good Terrorist (1985), and five novels collectively known as Canopus in Argos: Archives (1979–1983).
