'Christopher Cricket on Cats' is a wonderful text, penned by Anthony Henderson Euwer (1877 - 1955). As the title suggests, it is a book of wisdom for both young and old. Euwer was an American Author, and feline fanatic, who dedicated this children's story:To all the Cats that ever MeowedOn this or any Sphere, From the beginning of all TimeUnto this Present Year. This charming verse is beautifully illustrated throughout with Euwer s graphic black-and-white illustrations. Aside from his work illustrating children s books, Euwer was also a talented oil painter. His artistic flair is evident in the good humour and painstaking application, on show throughout this book.
