The Cats A.B.C. Beverley Nichols - illustrate by Derrick Sayer - "Throughtout these pages for cat-lover or non-cat lover, I have substitued F or non-F, indicating a person who is basically feline or non-feline by nature. The true F, whether he is considering the arts, the sciences or the men and women in the street, will know by instinct when he is in the presence of a kindred spirit. He will recognize, for example, that Rubens was F whereas Rembrandt was not. I mention these universal geniuses to show that Fness is not to be regarded as a measure of greatness but as a quality of the mind." Are you "F" or "non F" Feline or non-Feline ? Readers of Beverley Nichols' latest book will find themselves faced by this problem from the outset. It is not merely a matter of liing or disliking cats ; the two classifications have a deeper significance. The author believes that F'ness, or its reverse, is one of the most important influences in the determination of personality. "F" or "non-F", few readers will be able to resist the light-hearted appeal of these pages. Beverley Nichols knows his cats so well that he seems to identiify himself with them completely... sharing their delights, their appetites, their prejudices, their sudden strange alarms. It gives the effect of being written from the inside, by a man who has been initiated into all the secrets of the feline world. editions Jonathan Cape, Thirty Bedford Square, London, 1960. #cats lovers, #amour des chats, #dessins de chats, #cats, #chats,
