This is a unique celebration of that most beautiful and self-possessed of creatures--the cat. More than 50 poems are included, reflecting every feline mood: the comic, the aristocratic, the lazy, the cunning, the fierce, the inscrutable. Lovers of cats and lovers of poetry will be delighted by the wide-ranging nature of the collection by poets such as T.S. Elliot, Ted Hughes, W.B. Yeats, William Wordsworth, Edward Lear and many others. One of the most attractive features of the book is the choice of pictures. A stunning selection of drawings and paintings by such artists and illustrators as Renoir, Manet, Picasso, Hogarth, Cruikshank and Lear add to the charm of the verse, making this a book to be treasured by cat lovers everywhere.

"A wreck lying on the bottom of the sea; a lawless smuggler and his accomplice; a family heirloom with a secret drawer; the chance to learn the science of underwater archaeology with a group of skin divers--what more could Mark want for a perfect vacation? "But when he went off for his summer holiday on an archaeologist's ketch, carrying with him, though he did not realize it, a clue to a secret treasure, Mark little dreamed what awaited him. The sand of the sea bed, the glitter of treasure, the drama of an ancient world called upon all of his varied talents as part scientist, part detective, and all skin diver. "THE UNDERSEA TREASURE is the first book for young people by Richard Garnett, son of David Garnett. It is an informative, tingling adventure story---a treasure every young would-be skin diver, archaeologist, detective, and boatsman will be happy to discover."
