Book Description
These small, beautifully illustrated books with quotations drawn from a wide variety of sources: poetry, plays, letters, diaries as well as ancient bestiaries, give an insight into the nature of the creatures which have beguiled our affections since the earliest times. Fables and superstitions surround animals as an index of the creativity of God. Later writers have come to see animals as individuals, as well as being useful as metaphorical source material for comments on human nature. The lion was used in renaissance art to depict majesty and courage and was associated with the resurrection of Christ. The cat, in contrast, was traditionally associated with laziness and lust, as well as witches and devils. Today we add domesticity, motherly skills and cunning to our preconceptions about the cat's nature. The cat has become our most popular domestic pet. As friend and muse, the cat has captured our imagination so that in the last two centuries there is no animal which has inspired more prose and poetry.

Book Description
**NOW A MAJOR FILM A Christmas Gift from Bob, starring Luke Treadaway as James and Bob himself. A gift book of wisdom from everyone's favourite street cat.** 'One thing I've known about Bob from the very beginning is that he possesses a wisdom that is unusual, even in cats. In the decade since we met he's grown even wiser in my eyes. This book is a collection of the insights I've gained during my years with Bob.' In the spring of 2007, busker James Bowen came across an injured ginger tom cat in the hallway of his shelter in north London. What he didn't know was that this would be the start of a friendship that would turn both their lives around, and lead to A Street Cat Named Bob, the international bestseller that tells the story of their friendship. The Little Book of Bob is a collection of the wisdom James has learnt from Bob throughout the years, as they go through thick and thin together. From the power of friendship to staying calm and finding the joys in a simple life, let Bob be your guide on how to navigate the ins and outs of life like a wise street cat.

Book Description
Australians have strong feelings for the cats in their lives--love for their elegance and poise, appreciation for their soothing presence, respect for their independence and aloofness, enjoyment of their antics, and reluctant acceptance of their 'gifts'. The latest addition to the National Library's popular 'Little Books' series, the Little Book of Cats celebrates the close relationship between Australians and their cats. Poems by authors such as Les Murray, William Hart-Smith, Eric Rolls and Gwen Harwood are accompanied by beautiful images from the Library's collection, including engravings by Lionel Lindsay, a photograph by Harold Cazneaux and a painting by eighteenth-century Korean artist Pyon Sang-byok.
