Translated by Anthea Bell.
Illustrated by
Giuliano Lunelli.
A noted translator has provided a smooth new translation of one of the most famous French fairy tales. The droll illustrations of the resourceful cat personify his canny abilities and nimble tricks that make a prince out of a miller's son. The clothing styles in the paintings are from several different eras, but that does not interfere with this fantastical tale of the cat with the fancy footwear.
