Product Description

Calico Tales and Others is a unique gift book for cat lovers, combining poems and artistic photographs-all the work of award-winning feline photographer/poet Betsy Stowe. This book features over 50 poems of all styles, rhymed and unrhymed-some whimsical, some poignant, all heartwarming. And each poem is illustrated with an expressive black and white photograph of one of Betsy's talented feline models-her beloved adopted strays who have lived with her on farm and in town. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to support local animal shelters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purr-fectly Wonderful, March 17, 2004
By Kari Winters (North Hills, CA. United States) - See all my reviews
Calico Tales is a collection poems about cats that could be enjoyed by any cat lover (whether they think they like poetry or not). Some of my personal favorites include "Jump to the Moon" and "Promise" but there are many, many more. Betsy Stowe has captured the many facets of our relationships with our cats. The frosting on the cake are the beautiful black-and-white pictures of cats that are truly enchanting. I highly recommend this book for any cat lover. Buy it for yourself and get one as a gift for someone who loves cats. That someone will thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only a great read, but an award winner too!, December 19, 2004
By Mollypnut (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews
Anyone who's ever lived with and loved cats will love this book too. Betsy captures the emotion and essence of cats in her fun, witty and insightful poetry. The photography is beautiful, a grayscale study of cats and their world. Betsy has received five awards for this book, quite an achievement:

- the 2004 World's Best Cat Litter(tm)-ary Award
- a Muse MedallionT award from the Cat Writers' Association
- two CWA Certificates of Excellence
- a Communicator Award of Distinction

It's quite a lovely book that would make the perfect gift for someone you know who loves cats, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars For those who love cats, poetry and/or photographs, March 27, 2004
By Mcat "Cat Sonnet Writer" (Round Hill, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This little book captures the heart of our relationship with our feline companions in poems and photographs. My personal favorites are "Direct Translation" and "Sleeping Cat," but each page touches on the joys, the frustrations and the bewilderment of living with these wonderful creatures, as well as the poignant sadness when they must leave us. A wonderful book to own or to give as a gift.
