Resumen del Editor

A delightful new recording of T. S. Eliot's beloved cat poems. Cats! Some are sane, some are mad and some are good and some are bad.

Meet magical Mr. Mistoffelees, sleepy Old Deuteronomy and curious Rum Tum Tugger. But you'll be lucky to meet Macavity because Macavity's not there!

In 1925, T. S. Eliot became codirector of Faber & Faber, who remain his publishers to this day. Throughout the 1930s he composed the now famous poems about Macavity, Old Deuteronomy, Mr. Mistoffelees and many other cats, under the name of 'Old Possum'.

In 1981, Eliot's poems were set to music by Andrew Lloyd Webber as Cats, which went on to become the longest-running Broadway musical in history.

Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He came to England in 1914 and published his first book of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965.

Love this book 💖

I'm so glad I've got this book in my library. I've listened to it a lot, as it's not only a good story, it's relaxing. My 6 year old granddaughter loves it also.

A fun book read by a terrific narrator.

I knew of this book but had never read it. It is now one of my all-time favorites! I can’t think of any other book that has made me smile and laugh as much as this one. The narrator is fantastic, bringing out the uniqueness of each character.

Beautifully done!

A beloved book, a beautiful reading. I just sat down to listen with my eyes closed and, from time to time, an Edward Gorey drawing would come to mind.
Cat lovers everywhere should give it a listen.

Catfully delightful!

I have not one negative thing to say about this piece TS Eliot did a great job writing it. Miranda Richardson was perfect to read it and the story is unique, universal, and heartwarming. On top of all that it gives children of this age something to strive for in the realm of vocabulary. A treasure for all time.

Delightful

While the movie may have fallen short of expectations, Miranda Richardson's reading of T.S. Eliot's classic really delivers! I smiled throughout the reading and felt like a kid again. I loved it

Rounds out the broadway musical experience !

As I listen to this incredible performance I can hear in my head the music accompaniment from ALWebers creation / adaptation. Miranda Richardson presents, w incredible timing, an award winning performance of multiple characters with voice inflection only. Remarkable how with tonal shifts and variable tempo a unique character is presented.

Great to Listen to!

I love T.S. Eliot and this is one of his most underrated poetry books. The narration was on point and grasped the spirit of each cat fully.
