A big elegant Faber picture book for children ages eight and up, complete and unabridged and with dedication page, this is a children's cat poem by the author of the world-famous Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. In 1951 a poem appeared in which Cat Morgan introduced himself and this is one of our favourites among all Old Possum's poems, perfect for reading aloud, singing or performing. 'I once was a Pirate what sailed the 'igh seas - but now I've retired as a com-mission-aire: and that's how you find me a' takin' my ease and keepin' the door in a Bloomsbury Square.' Arthur Robins's huge full page and double page spread illustrations gather every detail with his coloured artworks across one or two lines of the poem. Large square softback.
