This enchanting story and classic of cat literature is drawn from the true adventures of Tom Jones, May Sarton’s own cat.Prior to making the author’s acquaintance, he is a fiercely independent, nameless Cat About Town.Growing tired of his vagabond lifestyle, however, he concludes that there might be some appeal in giving up his freedom for a home.Finally, a house materialises that does seem acceptable and so do the voices that inhabit it.It is here that he begins his transformation into a genuine Fur Person.Sarton’s book is one of the most beloved stories ever written about the joys and tribulations inherent in sharing one’s life with a cat.It is now reissued in a gorgeous edition featuring David Canright’s beautiful illustrations.
