I love the fact that this is a bilingual edition with English on the one page and German on the next, and I absolutely adore the Edward Gorey illustrations.

What I am not enthusiastic about is the German translations (although the quality quite varies, as they are by half a dozen different people, a few of them quite famous); of course some are better than others, but on the whole I just feel they aren't doing a very good job (Macavity -which is quite pronuncible in German- is rendered Bibistibos (huh?), but Jellicles (which is difficult both on account of the dʒ sound and the -cle) remains Jellicles?!?).

Nevermind, the original is there, and I hope you'll enjoy it!

Oh silly silly me! I didn't even look at the rest of the title ((Bilingual English and German edition) but just assumed it was all in german - so this book goes right back into my tbr! Thank you linquistkris!!!

Loved it! I've been reading this couple of times now, and it is time for it to go forward. I've been humming Mr. Mistoffelees (from the musical) all evening now :)

Sending forward now :)

Cats arrived. Thank you Chania very much!

5.9.2023:

I've seen the musical Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber and I have the CD, but not until now I read the original text Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. ("Old Possum" was Ezra Pound's friendly nickname for Eliot.)

Thank you all: this little treasure will remain in my permanent collection for the time being.
