Eliot's poetry book for children about cats, which would become the basis of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats. The book became hugely popular, sparking many reprints, including illustrated editions with drawings by Nicholas Bentley, Edward Gorey, and Axel Scheffler.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; light spotting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's yellow cloth, red lettering to spine, device to upper cover in red, light dust-soiling to extremities, with the price-clipped pictorial dustjacket, short closed tear to top edge of front panel, spine browned, minor wear to spine and corners; overall a very good copy.
