This very beautiful and lyrical extended version of the fairy tale ''The Wild Swans'' by Hans Christian Andersen is the much anticipated companion to East of the Sun, West of the Moon. With strong characterization of the heroine and also with more rounded characterisation of the wicked stepmother than in the original version, and with delicate watercolor paintings throughout, this is both a wonderful story and delightful gift. Beautifully presented in a jacketed edition with foiled title.

"Los gatos duermen mucho y sueñan más. Pero, ¿sueñan con ratones, con catnip, con un rico atún? Puede. Pero también tienen grandes sueños. Sueñan que, por un momento, son leones, tigres, guepardos, linces, leopardos ... Sueñan que rugen, que cazan, que se camuflan en la nieve. Sueñan con sus parientes felinos. Y tú, ¿con qué sueñas?"--

A cat sleeps, curled up in a warm place, and while it sleeps it dreams. . . of being a tiger, flame cat of the forest; a cheetah - fast as the wind on the African plains; a lion, lounging through the heat of the day, tangled in sunshine on the African savannah; a jaguar, perfectly camouflaged deep in the jungle. And the cat dreams of being a lynx, a puma, a snow leopard, a Scottish wild cat, an Asian fishing cat, and the rare Amur leopard. Finally Cat wakes, a domestic cat again, telling his dreams to the child who is stroking him. Ten wild habitats, ten wild cats and one domestic cat are dramatically and beautifully illustrated in this unique celebration of the cat.

From the beginning of time, Snow Leopard has woven words of protection to keep the hidden valley safe from the world. But time is passing, and Snow Leopard needs to find a singer who will follow her. ÿJackie Morris''s poetic text weaves the spirit of nature into a universal myth for our time. Set against the stunning landscapes of the Himalayas, her beautiful illustrations of the nearly-extinct Snow Leopard offer a message of hope at a time when many of the world''s wildest places are being worn away by human beings.

Author, illustrator and photographer Jackie Morris explores her native Pembrokeshire in the company of her feline friends. Or rather, they explore the countryside while she tags along taking pictures. Over 100 images with accompanying text tell the story of many walks with many cats. Challenging perceptions and rearranging priorities, Jackie''s insightful poetry and prose allows a glimpse of a world in which cat is king and nature its subject. Ordered and regulated by season, you will find that, although the landscape of Cat Walk may be familiar, what is seen is most certainly different.
