サミュエル・ジョンソン 文、イヴォンヌ・スカーゴン 絵

 

一番可愛い盛りの2匹の子ねこ、リリーとホッジ。2匹のふざけあったり、眠りこけたりしている様々な情景を、イヴォンヌ・スカーゴンの木口木版画と、博識と辞書の編纂で有名なジョンソン博士のことばで描きだす、ちょっと気取った大人の絵本。

 

Captivating, charming engravings of the now famous cats (Oscar, Lily & Hodge) by this internationally renowned British artist with an enchanting talent for creating memorable images of plants and animals (especially cats). Words by Samuel Johnson. Oscar cat, appearing in The Importance of  Being Oscar (also available in this catalog), was succeeded by two kittens--Lily and Hodge. This book portrays with wit and affection the personalities, antics and attitudes of these two felines, behavior immediately recognized by humankind whose lives are immoderately governed by that “domestic animal that catches mice.” Dr. Johnson includes himself among those devotees of the feline race—“which add gravity to a record which otherwise illustrates a more insouciant attitude to life.”
