Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much." ? Mark TwainCats and literature go together like tea and cake. It's not that you can't have one without the other, but there is a certain rightness to the pairing.
