of historical trivia regarding books, cats, and other animals. Actually this blog has evolved so that it is described better as a blog about cats in history and culture. And we take as a theme the advice of Aldous Huxley: If you want to be a writer, get some cats. Don't forget to see the archived articles linked at the bottom of the page.

April 10, 1903

http://www.cathappy.net/newberry.htm is a tribute site for Clare Turlay Newberry (April 10, 1903 to February 12, 1970). She was an American illustrator and writer of children's books often about cats. Here is a picture of this talented lady who was awarded multiple Caldecott Winner medals.




We are indebted to her daughter who made this picture available. She has a website also, for her mother. Both these sites have wonderful pictures for you to see.
