Old Possum's book of practical cats / by T.S. Eliot ; drawings by Edward Gorey.

Eliot, T. S. (Thomas Stearns), 1888-1965 (author.). Gorey, Edward, 1925-2000 (illustrator.). Rouben Mamoulian Collection (Library of Congress) (Added Author).

Summary:

These playful verses by a celebrated poet have delighted readers and cat lovers around the world ever since they were gathered for publication in 1939. As Valerie Eliot has pointed out, there are a number of references to cats in T.S. Eliot's work, but it was to his godchildren, particularly Tom Faber and Alison Tandy, in the 1930s, that he first revealed himself as "Old Possum" and for whom he composed his poems; later inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary musical "Cats".
