The Cat's Pyjamas

This collection of drawings is a celebration of the way cats have invaded not only our lives but our language. From "the cat's whiskers" and "scaredy cat" to "cat's paw" and "cat nap", Thelwell's drawings remind the reader of these phrases in hilarious and often unexpected ways. Moving beyond phrases to words, Thelwell's witty vignettes also offer punning feline interpretations of such words as "catarrh", "platypus" and "opus". Thelwell's other books include "Angels on Horseback", "Top Dog", "Magnificat" and "Play It As It Lies".
