• I have such childhood ties to this book! (I like to think my parents had good taste) - Its been YEARS since I'd read it, but some of the images came rushing back to me when I opened it. They held up too! I remember loving the story, "The Cat and His Visions" with its image of the fish with butter and lemon sauce making me SO hungry. It was still just as vivid and well written as I remember.
