The Cat and the Mouse (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) Hartwell James Illustrated edition

Publisher Marketing: According to the decree of Heaven, there once lived in the Persian city of Kerman a cat like unto a dragon-a longsighted cat who hunted like a lion; a cat with fascinating eyes and long whiskers and sharp teeth. Its body was like a drum, its beautiful fur like ermine skin. Nobody was happier than this cat, neither the newly-wedded bride, nor the hospitable master of the house when he looks round on the smiling faces of his guests. Contributor Bio:  Neill, John R John R. Neill was born in Philadelphia in 1877. In 1904, at the age of twenty-six, Neill received his first major book assignment, as illustrator for The Marvelous Land of Oz. From then until his death in 1943, Neill would illustrate over forty Oz books, including three he wrote himself. Today, his fabulous illustrations are synonymous with Oz.
