A charming collection of quotes about cats from our favorite authors, accompanied by artwork in the trademark style of Paul Magrs, author of The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadful Teddy.
 
“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.” —Terry Pratchett
 
This collection of quotes from the literary greats, lovingly curated and illustrated by Paul Magrs, explores just why cats have fascinated, mesmerized and (sometimes) infuriated writers for centuries. Each author has attempted to pin down exactly what their feline companions have meant to them—their thoughts funny, illuminating and insightful—with quotes that celebrate the mystery of these daydreaming, snarky, selfish, watchful, contemplative and changeable creatures. With Puss in Books, cat and book lovers alike may just come closer to understanding these beings who have intrigued great thinkers and writers since the dawn of time.
