'The Book of Cats' (Japanese Edition) Translated and Edited by Naoki Yanase Amazon.co.jp

This volume collects 16 literary works by authors ranging from Huxley and Mark Twain to Gallico and Sartre. Genres include mystery, fantasy and even poetry. What ties them all together is the theme of cats. In addition, the book can almost be viewed as an art monograph, considering it features reproductions of famous cat paintings by the likes of Picasso, Chagall and Klee. This edition was translated by the genuine cat-lover, Naoki Yanase, who was involved in the formulation of 'Cat Day'.
