Susan Herbert's feline versions of famous paintings have delighted cat and art-lovers everywhere. In this book, now available in paperback, she turns her eye to the works of the Pre-Raphaelite painters, whose popularity is reaching new heights today. The epitome of their style and period, these wonderful paintings can be viewed in a new and entrancing way when their protagonists are endearing cats. The Beggar Maid, 'more beautiful than day' in Tennyson's poem, takes on a particularly touching relationship with King Cophetua, while Medea gives new meaning to the word enchantress as she prepares the ingredients for a spell. And were ever two creatures so frightened and so abandoned as the poor cat princes wickedly imprisoned in the Tower, or two lovers so sad and so stoical as the young officer cat and his fianc???e on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo? A special feature of this book is its inclusion of small black-and-white reproductions of all the original paintings that have inspired Susan Herbert. Once again she has risen to the challenge of endowing the world's best- loved works of art with a certain feline charm.

If you love a particular period of art AND love cats, these are the books for you. The Pre-Raphaelite Cats are true both to the genre and cats. The artist does not just stick a cat's head on a painted figure, but is faithful to feline anatomy and behavior, and takes the trouble to recreate the entire picture. While cats cannot mimic every human emotion, transposing them into these situations says a great deal about our relationships with our pets and our aesthetic reactions. I am planning on getting others in this collection.
