Book ID/图书代码： 12844009B31521

English Summary/英文概要： A fascinating look at famous felines through the ages, as well as all the famous people who doted on them

Cats have been celebrated for thousands of years, as magical and mythical symbols, as literary characters, as much-loved pets, as show champions, as cartoon images, as television performers, as advertisement logos, and even, on occasion, as film stars. All in their unique, individual way are fantastic.

In Fantastic Cats, Desmond Morris describes every imaginable fantastic cat and brings all his skills as a writer, his wit and erudition to bear on a subject close to his heart. This is a ’feline hall of fame’ where every cat that has ever become well-known rates at least a brief mention, from the very sad ones, to the wonderfully comic ones, like James Thurber’s Cat William, who thought that, when a ship was thinking, the cry that went up was ’William and Children First!’.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在我们生活中，猫咪这种小动物无处不在。当你翻开一本书，可能会在书里见到它。按下电视机遥控开关，它们又可能出现在广告或是卡通中。即使你走进影院，也可能发现它是荧屏上的大明星。用神奇二字形容它们也不足为怪。
在德斯蒙德莫里斯的这本书中描述了几乎所有的神奇猫咪。翻阅此书，你能发现他的博学和才智无处不在。在这个猫科动物的名人堂里，每只有名的猫咪都至少有一段简短的描述。无论是可叹的小可怜还是神奇的漫画角色都有涉及，比方大名鼎鼎的詹姆斯瑟伯的猫咪——威廉。据说，如果一艘船即将沉没，它的主人——詹姆斯肯定会大喊“威廉和孩子们先撤！！！”。(YLY)
