Abstract

The article reviews *Curious Cats and Fantastical Felines* by Willow Winsham, a book exploring the historical and cultural relationship between humans and cats through folklore, mythology, and superstition. Divided into two parts, the book offers concise summaries of feline-related beliefs and stories, ranging from ancient Egyptian cat deities to European fairy tales, accompanied by woodcut-style illustrations. While not an exhaustive study, it serves as an accessible introduction to feline folklore, appealing to readers interested in mythology, history, and cats. The book is noted for its engaging presentation and suitability for a broad audience, including those new to the subject. [Extracted from the article]
