5.0 out of 5 stars BEST book on Louis Wain! Kudos to Mr. Dale!, August 20, 2005

This review is from: Louis Wain - The Man Who Drew Cats (Hardcover)

I can't put this book down! In addition to the MANY charming and intriguing drawings by cat artist Louis Wain, Mr. Dale includes a wealth of information on his life, history as an artist, and personal struggles. It is extremely well written and as entertaining as it is informative. Best book on the subject of Mr. Wain and his art I have yet to read.
