The Fur Person (Illustrated Edition)

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 materializes 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.
