A captivating book for cat lovers. This appealing little book forms a group portrait of some of the most privileged cats in Britain. Their homes could not be more ancient or splendid. They are admired by thousands of tourists. There is hardly a door or window that is closed to them. They have the run of roofs and vaults, nooks and crannies, cloisters and choirs. Photographer Richard Surman has traveled to dozens of Britains great churches and cathedrals to record these ecclesiastical felines, and each photo is accompanied by a pen portrait of the cat and its particular eccentricities. There is Biggles, for example, feline tyrant of Westminster Abbey, who was issued an official warning by the police after mauling a constables trousers! Such is the stuff of this irresistible book.
