I picked this book up at an airport in Europe and thoroughly enjoyed it on the flight back home. I felt I was bringing a bit of England home with me as well as a wonderful new friend. Upon arrival I immediately search out the sequel call "James, the Fabulous Feline" which I thought was even better. I am now hoping that there will be others as I am totally in love with Sir James. Please read these books if you love cats and are totally convinced that they are far more human than most suspect. Included are some interesting facts, but the whimsical storytelling and the comical situations are the main attraction. You are certain to find yourself conversing more respectfully with felines in the future.

This book held the attention of the reader with an ever evolving plot and a style that merged the ideas of haute culture and the language of the common man. The book is a great read for both young and old alike as it gives a view of the art world to those uninformed in it's ways along with a view of the Country life of England. Further elements of Egyptian myth and romance make this book a definite keeper. Hahn really did some research on this project.

I bought this book and thoroughly enjoyed it - being a cat lover, I could really imagine some of the situations James wound up in. I'm just sorry I loaned it to someone and never got it back!

I am a "Cat Who" fan and look forward to another book but I don't think that will happen. Too bad.
