Feline Folk Tales

Cunning and clever, worshipped and feared, thought to bring good luck or even great harm, cats have fascinated humans for millennia. Tame, with a hint of wild, cat tales – humorous, scary, haunting, uplifting – prowl the pages of this book. This book explores cats in folk tales and folklore from around the world – from Egypt’s regal Bastet to Celtic and Nordic mythical felines, via Japan, Persia and elsewhere.
