Beyond the Book: Great Writers & the Cats who Owned Them

Gain a new perspective on literary legends through Susannah Fullerton's latest book, Great Writers & the Cats who Owned Them.

Writers and cats go together beautifully. In the silence of a study, the cat is the perfect companion - it doesn’t need to be taken for walks, yet is there for comfort. Throughout history, famous writers have loved and been inspired by their cats.

This exciting new book looks at 17 great writers and their cats, showing how each cat was used in poems, novels, short stories, essays, letters and children’s books, and explaining the special relationship between writer and feline.

Susannah Fullerton is a highly regarded Sydney-based literary historian and lecturer.
