How cat mania exploded in the early twentieth century, transforming cats from pests into beloved pets.
What The Reviewers Say
Catland is a delight. This is history as told by someone whose knowledge of and infectious enthusiasm for her subject is matched by obvious delight and warm, expressive writing..
This is a darting, hobby-horsical, hugely interesting book with the feel of a passion project rather than a sobersides work of history. But its ease and authority come from how Hughes as a historian is completely at home in the era under discussion..
Hughes has pursued her cats down every alley.
Sparkling.
