Doris LessingтАЩs love affair with cats began at a young age, when she became intrigued with the semi-feral creatures on the African farm where she grew up. Her fascination remained undiminished by the handsome domesticated creatures who shared her flats and her life in London and grew into real love with El Magnifico, the awkwardly lovable cat who in his later years suffered the great indignity of becoming a three-legged beast.
Consisting of LessingтАЩs celebrated collection of stories, тАШParticularly Cats and RufusтАЩ, and the poignant though unsentimental memoir, тАШThe Old Age of El MagnificoтАЩ, this book is a brilliant evocation of the feline world.
