The Elegance of the Cat: Book Giveaway
After collaborating on The Majesty of the Horse and The Spirit of the Dog, writer, art historian and animal expert Tamsin Pickeral and award-winning photographer Astrid Harrisson have partnered on their most stunning book yet,The Elegance of the Cat: An Illustrated History. The large coffee table book brimming with exquisite cat photography and paired with enlightening text, captures the essence and history of cats from breeds familiar to rare such as the Laperm, Sokoke or Peterbald. The delight is in the feline details. With the holiday season fast approaching, I can’t think of a better gift for any discerning cat lover.
