First North American edition of Susan Herbert's Medieval Cats is a lovely alphabet book for children or a gift for a cat lover or your favorite historian.
Written and illustrated by Susan Herbert, 1995, First North American Edition, Bullfinch Press, Little Brown & Company.
From the inside flap: "In her much loved previous books Susan Herbert introduced us to a world of art inhabited entirely by cats. She gave us of all sorts in masterpieces and familiar paintings, and as figures in domestic and social life of Victorian England. Now she explores an entirely new area: the art of the Middle Ages.
She leads us into the magical world of brightly colored illuminations, the romances of Medieval chivalry, the sparkling books of hours, and other devotional volumes. There are courtly scenes of pageantry, of beautifully costumed creatures in a wonderful land of medieval castles and churches, splendid banquets, and colorful jousting ceremonies. All based on authentic works from the 13th to the 16th Centuries, these infinitely detailed paintings show us cats in jewel-like settings, remote but endearing-a ravishing testimony to a world long ago."
