Cats on the Page
Fun exhibition at the British Library on cats in literature. This was a nicely themed show with fun puns as the section titles such as “The Purfect Crime” and nicely laid out with good commentaries. The show included a lot of children’s books and as you went round you kept remembering books from your childhood and saying “of course”. There was a section on pantomime as well as nursery rhymes and cats in ghost stories. Highlight’s included original drawings for Mog by Judith Kerr and Famous Fred by Posy Symmonds. There was a nice section, of course, on T.S. Elliott’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats including his original design for the cover of the book. Closes on 17 March 2019
