Eine visuelle Feier, von einem Meisterkarikaturisten, über all die Wege, auf denen Katzen in die englische Sprache eingedrungen sind. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte hatten Menschen eine solche Leidenschaft für Katzen, dass sie nicht nur unsere Häuser besetzt haben – die sonnigsten Ecken einnehmen und auf den weichsten Matten sitzen, die sie finden können – sondern auch unsere Sprache. Norman Thelwells Sammlung von Zeichnungen feiert diese Tatsache. Von "scaredy cat" bis "catnap" erinnern uns Thelwells köstliche und elegante Zeichnungen auf humorvolle und oft unerwartete Weise an diese Ausdrücke. Über Phrasen hinaus bieten Thelwells liebenswürdig witzige Vignetten auch spielerische feline Interpretationen von Wörtern wie "catarrh", "platypus" und "opus". Für Katzenliebhaber und Bilder von Katzen ist diese Sammlung ein Muss.

This is a humorous manual of instruction for sailors anywhere.
