Fun cat cartoons book. Searle's humor's quite enjoyable!
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013
I first found this hardcover book at a market stall. As an art student I could not put it down. Not just his level of skill and technique combinations in art, but also his range of wit and depth of insight into human nature, makes him, in my opinion, a most unique artist. He was a war artist and right after the war, a court room illustrator. A most versatile artists career. Now, quite a lot of years later I still adore this book. For me, the St Trinians books that probably made his career, are not the most interesting of his books. Looking at his works is like experiencing an artists playground of endless possiblity. I also have another larger book called simply "Ronald Searle" which has a lot of the Paris collection of works by Ronald Searle.

i've owned this book since i was a child and have loved it to this date any cat person/collector should be entranced by such a genius work of art! It's terrifying that this book is so expensive now!

If you like Searle and cats you can't go wrong with this. Many of Searle's books are getting hard to find here in U.S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fat Cat Book is just what the doctor ordered.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 13, 2018
Book arrived as hardback when paperback was ordered. Very happy with the book as it has minimal damage to the cover and all the cats survived!
I love Ronald Searle's fat cats especially the risque ones. Order received in good time so I am thrilled with book and service.

Livre fait de plein de connivences avec le lecteur. Grande leçon d'espoir. Il n'y a pas que la bêtise (entre autres) qui soit universelle. Le talent, l'humour et le rire le sont aussi n'en déplaise à certains.
A regarder à plusieurs. Parce que plus on est de fous ... Et là, c'est rire assuré !
