(there's an edition of Old Possum with Edward Gorey illustrations; this is both utterly wonderful and completely wrong, because, of course, Nicholas Bentley drew the pictures)
I've only ever seen the Edward Gorey edition: it was my first encounter with his work. (And Eliot's, too. For years, I thought of T.S. Eliot as the man who'd written the humorous book about cats and Edward Gorey as the man who'd done the cute illustrations. I bet these descriptions left a lot of people confused.) Could you direct me to Nicolas Bentley's?
a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. These are currently Bartholomew Bastable Basildon-Bond, though Chaz threatens to go all Chinese, and just call him Number One Son until he's at least two years old...
