"Fine feline fantasies"

Cats always seem at home in the fantasy (and horror) genre at least in this reviewer's mind since the 1950s Bell, Book, and Candle; so a genre match-up seems natural. This fourteen-book collection stars felines as key players in new renditions of children's fairy tales that target young and aging alike. The contributors are a virtual who's who of fantasy as popular children's tales are turned by their tail. Just a few titles to further explain the lead cat: "Ali Babette", "All the Pigs Houses", "Sleeping Beauties", "The Cobwebbed Princess", and "Cat-Friend", etc. The tales of the tails is a lot of fun for fantasy fans, and of course feline lovers, and cats (trust me they must be able to read if they reside in my house -- if they could only review).
