Book description

Lords of the Housetops is a carefully chosen collection of thirteen tales about the beloved, clever and charismatic cat. We see the cat through the eyes of thirteen authors, including such famous writers as Mark Twain, Booth Tarkington and Edgar Allen Poe.
Carl Van Vechten assembled and edited this collection, along with translating de Balzac's offering from French to English.
