Cats in Their Gardens

Resumen

Page Dickey takes us on an insider's tour of twenty of the most charming gardens in America and Europe with the ideal garden companion - cats. Author Roxana Robinson's Victorian garden in upstate New York, Martha Stewart's cottage garden of perennials in Westport, Connecticut, plus noted garden authority Penelope Hobhouse's private garden retreat in the English countryside, and other well-known gardens are explored not only as fine examples of garden design, but as sanctuaries of the cats who call them home (see attachment). The author has trained her camera on an assortment of garden-loving cats - including calicos, Himalayans, Abyssinians, ocicats, Maine coon cats, and ordinary tabbies. Shown stretched out in the sun, draped languorously on a stone wall, or sprawled on the cool grass, these cats always manage to choose the most becoming flowers or foliage for background.
